"It is a rare author who can write about himself with openness and
candor, but David Rockefeller has succeeded brilliantly. His
discussion of his upbringing and of the obligations imposed by
great wealth is fascinating, as are his personal reflections on
four generations of Rockefellers. What the book also reveals,
unconsciously but with great clarity, is the decency, integrity,
and humanity of David Rockefeller himself."--Dr. Henry
Kissinger
"Long before globalization became a household word, David
Rockefeller realized the importance of cultivating strong, trusting
relationships with countries and their leaders around the world. We
are privileged to be the beneficiaries of his lifelong commitment
to world peace, and to have his reflections on these experiences in
this superb memoir."--Nelson Mandela
"In these memoirs, David Rockefeller provides an account of his
life that is candid, incisive, and moving. Whether writing about
his remarkable family, his distinguished career, or his important
role in world affairs, he offers a unique and invaluable
perspective on our times."
--Kofi Annan, secretary general of the United Nations
"David Rockefeller is one of the most diversely interesting men of
our time. It has been my pleasure to know him and his work, and
this book, the product of his unique life, is both attractive and
thoroughly engaging. It will attract everyone for the knowledge and
pleasure it accords."--Professor John Kenneth Galbraith
