Assassination plots, intimidation tactics, political manoeuvring and money in unfeasibly large quantities – this is the stuff of Ben Mezrich’s Once Upon a Time in Russia, a nonfiction journey into the rise (and, in some cases, fall) of the oligarchs . . . one of our favourites.

[A] fascinating and often chilling read.

In the Internet era, China has outpaced most advanced countries in terms of new technology adaptation and economic growth. In this book, Edward Tse clearly illustrates how China's explosive growth in business will continue to impact the whole country and the rest of the world

Edward Tse is an influential thinker in the Chinese business community given his unique background coupled with global knowledge and perspective. China's Disruptors will enlighten global business leaders with new visions coming from China

This is the book for every person who is wondering how China's impressive growth in business is going to impact the rest of the world

Dr. Edward Tse explores very clear the rise of the China's entrepreneurs and the opportunities their rise will generate. After reading the book it became very clear for me how global businesses will inevitably have to become more 'Chinese' in their manner of operating

A detailed and fascinating study of the changing landscape in China and the entrepreneurs who are driving that change forward. This is a book that will only become increasingly important in the years to come

A useful corrective for those who regard China as a calcified state-driven economy and underestimate the changes taking place

A modern version of Moby-Dick, with wiretaps rather than harpoons.

One of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time ... Beautifully paced, jargon free, artfully arranged, deeply reported and properly researched... I wish all books were this good. You won’t regret reading this.

Well-written and well-reported, chock-a-block with ‘you-are-there’ moments.

Kolhatkar has written a memorable and pathbreaking account of an era that is by no means over yet

Black Edge reads like a legal thriller, except, it's all true. It also captures and defines an era on Wall Street when the only thing that mattered was: Black Edge

Well worth the read. I couldn’t put it down

A potent book... an incisive social critique that slices through financial jargon and gobbledygook to accurately map the all-too-common corruption in America’s hedge funds that are sucking up billions and billions that used to be invested for the growth and benefit of society as a whole in building infrastructure, expanding existing and new businesses and creating jobs

An utterly absorbing look at how Cohen pushed his traders to the limit—that “black edge”—and how he mostly insulated himself from the potential ramifications. This fast-paced, true-life thriller will leave readers enraptured—and troubled
