The author digs deep, especially for a foreigner, shows remarkable savvy and insight into the culture. The attention to detail is amazing - especially impressed when he quotes in gujarathi at one point. At times, the financial detail can be a little tedious to negotiate though, and even uninteresting to those who have little need for it, but one can see how the author couldn't have left any of it out considering that this is a chronicle of Ambani's short but eventful life and the events were little else but one public issue after another, and the ensuing political maneuvering and drama around it. no reviews | add a review
One of the very few studies of Asian or Third World tycoons, this fascinating biography of Indian tycoon Dhirubhai Ambani shows how capitalism emerges by fair means and foul in the new industrial countries of the Third World. No library descriptions found. |
