Daniel Ammann
The King of Oil is the astonishing, no-holds-barred true story of Marc Rich—the fugitive billionaire trader who invented the modern spot oil market, transformed the world economy, and became one of the most controversial businessmen in history.
For the first time, billionaire oil trader Marc Rich speaks at length about his private life and global empire. He reveals details behind his high-profile divorce, his rise as a Holocaust survivor, and his quiet cooperation with the Israeli and U.S. governments—even while facing tax fraud indictments led by Rudy Giuliani and near-comical, illegal kidnapping attempts by U.S. officials.
This revelatory biography by Daniel Ammann explores Rich’s lucrative, unpublicized dealings with Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran, Fidel Castro's Cuba, war-ravaged Angola, and apartheid South Africa. Infamously pardoned by President Bill Clinton—a move that resurfaced during Attorney General Eric Holder's confirmation hearings—Rich’s story charts an unbelievable rise from fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe as a young boy to becoming the most powerful commodities trader of the century.
批評家のレビュー
“It's a psychological thriller, each page percolating with the triumphant darkness that is Marc David Rich.” —Bloomberg News
“An empathetic look at the notorious Marc Rich, one of the most successful and controversial commodities traders in recent history and a key figure in the invention of the spot market. With unparalleled access to Rich, his family and associates, business journalist Ammann paints a nuanced portrait of the man vilified for trading with Iran and apartheid-era South Africa, accused of being the biggest tax fraudster in U.S. history and recipient of an infamous presidential pardon. This meticulous account sets the record straight on a reluctant public figure who lost in the court of public opinion, but escaped being tried in a court of law.” —Publishers Weekly
“Is Rich a rogue or a philanthropic businessman? Ammann lets readers draw their own conclusion. This book reads like a cross between a rags-to-riches saga and a cloak-and-dagger thriller, but it's also an excellent and timely primer on the world of commodities trading within a global economy and will greatly appeal to readers interested in current events.” —Library Journal
