Mr. China tells the rollicking story of a young man who goes to China with the misguided notion that he will help bring the Chinese into the modern world, only to be schooled by the most resourceful and creative operators he would ever meet. Part memoir, part parable, Mr. China is one man's coming-of-age story where he learns to respect and admire the nation he sought to conquer.

Review:
"Hard to put down... with passionate characters and vivid landscapes. Clissold excels at analyzing a strange business culture...."--Playboy

"A compelling account, related with sly humor and hard-earned wisdom."--Library Journal

"An adventure tale. Clissold is a wonderful and compassionate narrator (with) a deep respect for the culture, language, and history."--USA Today

"Lots of Western businessmen have China war stories, but only Tim Clissold has written . . . this funny book."--Newsweek

"One of the wittiest, most compelling accounts of anything I've read in a long time. A terrific book."--Tucker Carlson, co-host of CNN's Crossfire

"Hugely entertaining...Clissold loves China...but he also views it with clarity and no small amount of humor."--Washington Post

"Present at the creation of China's economic miracle, Clissold's memoir is an instant classic. Sharply observed, funny as hell. Indispensible."--Time magazine

"One would be hard-pressed to find a serious Western investor in China who isn't aware of Clissold's eye-opening account."--Forbes
Book Description:
The incredible true story of a Wall Street banker who went to China, blew four hundred milion dollars and learned the hard way that China doesn't play by Western rules.
