An award-winning book on country analysis by the Editors of Countryrisk.com. We'll refrain from commenting ourselves and let others do the talking:

The Harvard Business Review: "powerful."

Trends magazine: "the authors' analysis of political stability mixes humor, drama, and an eye for ironic detail."

Investment guru Mark Mobius: "the authors exhibit a strong knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes in emerging market countries all over the world."

Daniel Yergin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Prize: "essential insight for success internationally."

From Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.), Former Supreme Allied Commander, Europe: "the best account yet of the difficulties facing conventional approaches to economic development."

Michigan Today: "the seemingly inexplicable rise and fall of nations, their booms and busts, periods of stability and chaos, so poorly reported by our news media, become less puzzling when viewed through the focused lens of the authors."

The Boston Phoenix: "wise and wide-ranging."
