Big Winner

I recently posted a book review of “Riches Among the Ruins” by Robert P. Smith on Amazon.com:

Robert Smith’s book is an account of trading exotic financial instruments in exotic locations. His stories take the business adventure genre to new heights.

Some of the highlights include:
* Hunting down debts in El Salvador during a time when foreigners were getting shot
* Negotiating with unpredictable bondholders
* Chronicling the rise of an integrated global economy
* Working in Vietnam during the war and having his desk destroyed by a rocket
* The impact of psychology on currency values
* Dealing with the “Donald Trump of Istanbul”
* Managing billions of dollars of transactions in the corrupt and dangerous Nigeria of the 80’s
* Doing business in Russia in the age of the oligarchs
* Debt reconciliation in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime
* The future of the United States

This book is full of compelling stories of the author’s exciting experiences in international business.
