This sure-to-make-headlines book is the first no-holds-barred biography of Rich, who was famously pardoned by Bill Clinton, and resurfaced in the news during the confirmation hearings of Attorney General Eric Holder.

From his earliest trading days to the present, Marc Rich's story is astonishing and compelling "--Publisher's website. AU - Ammann, Daniel. CN - HD9570.R53 CN - HD9570.R53 CY - New York : DA - c2009.
