Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An elegantly written cautionary tale about doing business in the free-for-all atmosphere of China in the 1980s, and a coming-of-age tale for both the author and his fellow westerners who foolishly dreamed of conquering the vast Chinese market.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Mr. China</em> tells the rollicking story of a young man who goes to China with the misguided notion that he will help bring the Chinese into the modern world, only to be schooled by the most resourceful and creative operators he would ever meet. Part memoir, part parable, <em>Mr. China</em> is one man's coming-of-age story where he learns to respect and admire the nation he sought to conquer.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A compelling account, related with sly humor and hard-earned wisdom."--<em>Library Journal</em><br><br>"An adventure tale. Clissold is a wonderful and compassionate narrator (with) a deep respect for the culture, language, and history."--<em>USA Today</em><br><br>"Hugely entertaining...Clissold loves China...but he also views it with clarity and no small amount of humor."--<em>Washington Post</em><br><br>"Lots of Western businessmen have China war stories, but only Tim Clissold has written . . . this funny book."--<em>Newsweek</em><br><br>"Hard to put down... with passionate characters and vivid landscapes. Clissold excels at analyzing a strange business culture...."--Playboy<br><br>"One of the wittiest, most compelling accounts of anything I've read in a long time. A terrific book."--Tucker Carlson, co-host of CNN's Crossfire<br><br>"One would be hard-pressed to find a serious Western investor in China who isn't aware of Clissold's eye-opening account."--Forbes<br><br>"Present at the creation of China's economic miracle, Clissold's memoir is an instant classic. Sharply observed, funny as hell. Indispensible."--Time magazine<br>
