Our book club agreed that the information in the book about how economic hit men have affected recent events in several countries around the world was much more interesting than the author's story of his own background and involvement. Several of us were bothered by the narrator's voice and his self-aggrandizement. The book was long on self-importance and short on verifiable facts.

Our members found the book informative and somewhat eye-opening. For that most part the book was easy to read, and the author's style was comfortable. We found his information valuable and intersting, offering insight into world economics.
