About This Item
New York: Random House, 2002. FIRST EDITION, SIGNED by David Rockefeller on one of his own imprinted bookplates. With black and white photographs throughout. Large 8vo, publisher's original black cloth lettered in gold on the spine, in the original pictorially illustrated dustjacket. 517 pp. A very fine copy. FIRST EDITION, A SIGNED COPY BY ONE OF THE 20TH CENTURY’S MOST FAMOUS MEN OF FINANCE AND PHILANTHROPY. "It is a rare author who can write about himself with openness and candor, but David Rockefeller has succeeded brilliantly. His discussion of his upbringing and of the obligations imposed by great wealth is fascinating, as are his personal reflections on four generations of Rockefellers. What the book also reveals, unconsciously but with great clarity, is the decency, integrity, and humanity of David Rockefeller himself." - Dr. Henry Kissinger
"Long before globalization became a household word, David Rockefeller realized the importance of cultivating strong, trusting relationships with countries and their leaders around the world. We are privileged to be the beneficiaries of his lifelong commitment to wold peace, and to have his reflections on these experiences in this superb memoir." Nelson Mandela
