"Robert Rubin in one of the most brilliant and honorable wise men
of our era, and he has produced an extraordinary book. It is both
fascinating and readable. With charming candor and a wealth of
lessons, it provides an exciting account of his life on Wall
Street
and of his tenure as the presidential adviser and Treasury
Secretary. But it is also a very personal book filled with tales
and insights about his relationships with such key players as Alan
Greenspan, Larry Summers and President Bill Clinton. This is
destined to be one of the most important books, as well as one of
the most enjoyable and enlightening, published in our time."
-Walter Isaacson
"Bob Rubin takes us behind the closed doors and into the nerve
center of Wall Street, the White House and the Treasury Department
during a historic time in the global economy. It's a fascinating
and highly instructive tale told by a man who is uniquely qualified
to guide us through these monumental political and economic
challenges."
-Tom Brokaw
"Robert Rubin served with distinction as Secretary of Treasury
during a period of turbulence in international financial markets.
He has now written an engrossing and thoughtful book about his
experiences. Even those who do not agree with some of his
conclusions, will find this important reading."
-Henry Kissinger
"When historians look back on the 1990s, they will almost certainly
ask how the greatest economic expansion in American
historyhappened. Robert Rubin's forthright and fascinating memoir
will be the place to begin. With the meticulousness of a scholar
and an appealing lack of vanity, Rubin has written the kind of book
that important figures in history should write but seldom do."
-Michael Beschloss
