Book: Mr. China: A Memoir

Mr. China is (according to The Economist, anyway) the slightly disguised story of Asimco, founded by Jack Perkowski, a Wall Street banker, who raised more than US$ 400 million for investment in China in the early 1990s. Asimco, of which Clissold was President for a time, invested in car components factories and breweries and watched the bulk of the money get stolen, re-directed and dribble away.
