A biography that delves into the life of Marc Rich, a billionaire oil trader who revolutionized the commodities market. The book explores his rise to prominence, his controversial dealings with various governments including apartheid South Africa, Iran, Cuba, and the Soviet Union and his role in shaping the modern oil trade1. Rich was indicted on multiple criminal charges, including tax evasion and racketeering, but was later granted a presidential pardon by Bill Clinton, a decision that sparked widespread debate1.

Ammann's work provides an in-depth look at Richs business strategies, legal troubles, and personal life, offering insights into the ethical dilemmas of global commerce. The book has been praised for its investigative depth and engaging storytelling, with Bloomberg calling it a "must-read" and Le Monde likening it to a thriller1. There are also rumors of a film adaptation, with Matt Damon potentially portraying Rich.
