Customer Reviews:
Theres no business like the oil business
Marc Rich was a global oil trader that rocked the world. The US government chased him for years until sanity prevailed. Tax evasion ranks as his sole crime. The Swiss author has given a full account of the pardon by President Clinton which appeared to be (at the time) a gross mistake which shocked many Americans. However much Marc Rich may have crossed the line one cant help admiring his trading instincts and his pursuit of a profit. The subject of ISRAEL is also covered which is the most sensitive part of the book. Criticism of ISRAEL does make a minor showing although not to any great extent. All in all a great read for all those fascinated with the inside story of oil trading and political intrigue. A real classic yarn and a business thriller written with a sense of humour and respect.
