<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Richard Fenning has spent three decades advising multinational companies on volatile geopolitics and severe security crises. He was CEO of the British firm Control Risks for 14 years. His career coincided with the glory years of globalization, the rise of China, the tumult of the Middle East wars, a new vicious form of terrorism, the transforming impact of digital technology, and America's retreat from leadership. Offering him a rare insight into what happens when people and organizations come under enormous stress, it dispelled any illusions that the world is ordered, predictable, or fair. But amid the chaos and upheaval, he also found humanity and humor. In a whirlwind tour that takes us from the battlefields of Iraq to the back streets of Bogot�, from the steamy Niger delta to the chill of Putin's Moscow, he looks back with wit and insight on the people and places he has got to know, while also offering some timely thoughts about the relationship between risk and danger in a terrifyingly changeable world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A fascinating insight into the space where politics and business meet, filled with wit and wisdom. Highly recommended" --Lord Sedwell, former UK Cabinet Secretary and National Security Adviser<br><br>"A must-read for every student of geopolitics, amateur or academic, professional or private. This beautifully written memoir is much more than that: a roller-coaster ride of risk, full of insights and implied advice, more relevant than ever in today's uncertain world. Richard Fenning's sense of humour, and of irony, and his golden pen, make even the most appalling experiences enjoyable. Strongly recommended" --Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, former British Ambassador to Israel, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan<br><br>"Take a spoonful of Evelyn Waugh, add a sprinkle of P.J. O'Rourke and garnish with a touch of Michael Palin. Fenning is not just wry, perceptive and informative: he is also laugh-out-loud funny way more often than any CEO has a right to be" --Boris Starling, author of <i>The Official History of Britain</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Richard Fenning</b> joined the risk consulting firm Control Risks in 1993.
