Mr. China, A Memoir

Mr. China, A Memoir

by Tim Clissold

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 2006
  • PAPER
  • 262 PAGES

Clissold, eyewitness to the Chinese economic boom in the 1990s, writes with humor and insight in this entertaining account of his encounters with the Chinese and the Chinese way of doing business. His is a tale of high adventure and a portrait of contemporary China, full of anecdote and incident. The title, meant as ironic, refers to the dream (Marco Polo, Edgar Snow, Kissinger, corporate America) of becoming the ultimate insider (and making a billion).  (CHN306, $14.99)
