Mr. China: A Memoir

Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, Business & Money

In the early 1990s, Tim Clissold and an American banker set out to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from Wall Street and invest it in Chinese factories. They believed they had found the deal of a lifetime. Clissold tells what happened next with humor and candor, from a brewery and a car-parts plant to managers who stole whole companies. The memoir is both a business disaster story and a portrait of China's chaotic shift toward capitalism.
