Review Brett Kebble: The Inside Story / Struik / Zebra:In September 2005, corporate South Africa was rocked by the violent murder of mining maverick Brett Kebble. In life, he was known as a billionaire patron of the arts, compassionate philanthropist, champion of black economic empowerment, urbane raconteur and generous host. But within six months of his death, Kebble was exposed as the architect of one of the biggest and most convoluted frauds seen by any stock exchange in the world, a flawed genius who lied and cheated and stole so cunningly that even astute auditors were fooled. By the time he died, Kebble was both broke and jobless. His legacy was a maze of convoluted transactions that would take forensic investigators months, perhaps years, to untangle. The trail would lead from one of the African continent s oldest and most venerable mining houses to more than 100 shell companies; from the diamond fields of Angola to the new black elite in democratic South Africa s upmarket suburbs. But in the wake of Kebble s death, far darker secrets than his unorthodox and downright criminal transactions would also come to light. Many of them are revealed for the first time in this hard-hitting A-B-C of Brett Kebble s brilliant but terminally crooked business career.

Review Nixon in Winter / Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc.:This remarkable story of the final public and private years of the thirty-seventh president is filled with dramatic revelations about Watergate, Vietnam, Nixons final trip to China and his influential role on the world stage. Monica Crowley served as a personal assistant to former president Richard M. Nixon from July 1990 until his death in April 1994. During that period, she maintained a private journal in which she recorded his utterances with transcriptive clarity (a trait she attributes to having written down each conversation immediately after it was concluded). In Nixon Off the Record, she presented his views on political leadership and his opinions of specific leaders. In this sequel, she concentrates on Nixon's vision for America's foreign policy, which formed the basis of his attempts to influence the foreign policy of his successors, and his increasing awareness and acceptance of his own mortality. Although Nixon in Winter is almost assuredly intended to portray Nixon's final years as a strong, ideologically committed statesman in semiexile, what often comes through is the image of a lonely old man suffering from frustration over his unintended legacy and reputation. Dismissing even those biographies which depict him positively, he worries, "I haven't written enough. Look at Churchill. He wrote volumes. [+]Maybe I should write more. " There's a certain wistfulness to Nixon waking Crowley up with a phone call at 7:15 A. M. or cooking chili out of the can for the two of them, serving it with grapefruit juice ("I find that it cuts the taste of the chili"). Nixon in Winter rounds out the public image of one of the 20th century's most controversial leaders with an unusually personal perspective.

Review Northern Tigers: Building Ethical Canadian Corporate Champions / Key Porter Books:Northern Tigers: Building Ethical Canadian Corporate Champions is both a memoir by one of the most broadly experienced executives in Canadian business history and a personal manifesto from one of our most outspoken corporate leaders on the issues of business ethics and private philanthropy. Northern Tigers makes a compelling case for building great Canadian-run corporations that can compete in the international arena. But, he argues eloquently, they must be “great” not only in size and strength but also in their high ethical standards, good corporate governance, and in their open-hearted support of their communities in which they operate. In this book, co-written with veteran business author Paul Grescoe, Dick Haskayne filters all of his hard-won wisdom through the lens of his impressive life’s work.

Review Churchill: Library Edition / Blackstone Audiobooks:From the admiralty to the miner's strike, from the Battle of Britain to the Nobel Prize, Churchill oversaw some of the most important events the World has ever seen. Roy Jenkins faithfully presents these events, while also managing to convey the contradictions and quirks in Churchill's character. In depth analysis and brilliant historical research make this a magnificent one-volume biography of an extraordinary life. In some ways a companion piece to his excellent biography of Gladstone, "Churchill" is packed with insights that only a fellow politician could convey. "There is no doubt that he has surpassed himself. This is the biography of the year. " - Robert McCrum, "Observer". "This is a first class, well-sustained work of history and a masterpiece of biography " - Andrew Roberts, "Sunday Telegraph". "Lord Jenkins of Hillhead is an outstanding biographer. [+]it has the narrative power, sweep and sparkle of the author in his prime. " - John Grigg, "Times". Winston Churchill was querulous, childish, self-indulgent, and difficult, writes English historian Roy Jenkins. But he was also brilliant, tenacious, and capable-in short, "the greatest human being ever to occupy 10 Downing Street. " Jenkins's book stands as the best single-volume biography of Churchill in recent years. Marked by the author's wide experience writing on British leaders such as Balfour and Gladstone and his tenure as a member of Parliament, his book adds much to the vast library of works on Churchill. While acknowledging his subject's prickly nature, Jenkins credits Churchill for, among other things, recognizing far earlier than his peers the dangers of Hitler's regime. He praises Churchill for his leadership during the war years, especially at the outset, when England stood alone and in imminent danger of defeat. He also examines Churchill's struggle to forge political consensus to meet that desperate crisis, and he sheds new light on Churchill's postwar decline. -Gregory McNamee.
