Rescued from a concentration camp, the young survivor Reb Michael Klimrod works his way to America, where along the way, he takes vengeance on his former Nazi persecutors, and continues his education of survival in the brutal conditions of the Amazon.

His rise from rags to riches is a credible panorama of sense, perseverance and courage. While Sulitzer too commonly weighs his books with sexual content, its appearance here finds perfect harmony in the physical and spiritual power of wealth among its several characters, as a vital component of Klimrod's sheer will.

A human book as well, with Klimrod's struggle with his emotions, his ambitions, his beliefs and his dreams, all are quite human in their embrace.

This book satisfies on a number of levels. An excellent read, a great translation, and a considerable testimonial of human effort. 5 stars is only an understatement - a wonderful book.

The Green King is my all-time favorite book. I read it for the first time when on vacation in Aruba in '85 and have read it at least three times since. I found a first print in hardcover and it is the jewel of my book collection.

Reb Michael Klimrod's journey from a nazi death camp to the richest man in the world without anyone knowing him is remarkable. The detail that Sulitzer maintains in his book of the men that kept this secret is breath taking; the web of financial companies and transactions is exhilarating. This is a great book for anyone that enjoys high finance and a desire to fulfill a dream. 5 Stars are not enough for this book.

Ever have that opprotunity to take a long read along on a vacation... The Green King is a story of a man and his dream, a dream to build a nation where there once was none. In his quest he faces Nazis and beuraucrats, two great evils and defies the first but not the latter. A reclusive Multi-millionaire/billionaire it brings to mind Howard Hughes eccentric legacy and crosses it with Broffman ambition. A book strikingly similar to a Archer or Clancy in it's ability to make the character and the idea come to life. If you see this book snatch it up. It may be a long read, but one of the most enjoyable and enticing of any I have ever had. A true treasure.

This is the first book I ever read by Sulitzer (in its original french), and I now own all his novels. Trust me : they are all as good ! Using real events, he throws in a strong character, a great deal of adventure and suspense, world travel, and a little romance... In Cartel, for example, you learn about money laundering and you realize that (unfortunately) the Mafia is such a well-oiled organization that it will never be defeated...

The step by step life of a financial genius who gets involved in the drug money laundering on a worldwide scale.His passion for his gift will ruin his life.The step by step explainations of the wheeling and dealing,written to be easily understood by the neophyte is a great look at international finance and the weaknesses of a system we overtrust.All the books of this author are the best books I ever read.I am reading again for the 13th time,and I'll read it again,it has helped me a great deal in my personnal life.

I wanted to name my son Franz Cimballi after reading this book. "The dancer" as Sulitzer calls him is one of the most ingenious guys you'll ever meet. Sulitzer levels with Harold Robins in the Adventurers with this book.

This was a very exciting book for people like money,adventure and entrepeneurship.

Finding this book with cassetts is an opportunity not to be miss no matter what the cost. Some things in life are fun but this is one that no one should miss and enjoy it with pleasure and a sip of wine-of course!

I have used a lot of different sources in my attempt to teach myself French. Because the lessons flow so effortlessly I keep returning to "New French With Ease". The lessons are entertaining, and by using the CD's I am really learning to hear spoken French. I recommend it above all others.

The Angkor Massacre plots the fortunes and misfortunes of a french plantation owner in Cambodia in the 1960's and and 1970's. As the vietnam war moves into cambodia old loyalties rearrange. The major players, Khmer Rouge, NVA and Americans are a backdrop for day to day life, set among dense jungle and broodign ruins. Many of the ethnic groups described are unfamiliar. Jarai, the title of the film, refers to the planters giant friend. A hill tribesman from this group he routinely appears dispatching vicious assailants and plucking B52"s from the skies [well almost]. its a great read, a cross between Heart of Darkness, Rambo and Marcel Proust.

I was looking for this book like mad and i'm just extatic that i finally found it! (This is the place to say, "thank you amazon.com!"). This is one of those wordless books that can change your whole life and the way you look at things. I've been over these wonderful story-telling illustartions hundreds of times, and i'm not tired of it yet. It's amazing how the most basic thing, like a simple cartoon story, can affect you and makce you think differently. This one should be a classic (coffe-table book)in every home.

I haven't read the first part (money) but even though I am in engineering, I felt like going into bussiness. This novel puts you in an atmosphere of reality about the bussiness world and demistifies the bussiness environment. This book is a melting pot of a bussiness course, a story of passion and revenge with a suspence till the end about who's pulling the strings. It's one of the best books I've read in the Fiction category.

Cornelius photographed hundreds of subjects in the northern part of Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa. We at Africa Online (Internet Service Provider) in Cote d'Ivoire used the "eyes" from one of his photos on billboards for Africa Online with the message, "Voyez plus loin ... Internet." Of course we paid rights to the photographer for the use of his photo ... which we subsequently also used in calendars, greeting cards, and stickers. The "eyes" are now a hit in Abidjan. Buy this book which is presented in both French and English to see the "eyes" ... and the other sticking photos of Cornelius.

Book describes the way of life in America of long haul trucking as it was in the late 70's. The book goes into detail about trucks and the makers of heavy duty trucks. the second chapter describes the life style of the American Trucker. The third chapter describes the CB's in trucks. Then the book describes all the heavy duty trucks available in the U.S. Alot of great color photo's of trucks. If you collect truck books, this is one to have in your collection!

Nothing can prepare you for the suspense and drama of this title, from a flowing start to an amazing story. You are transported to the workings of brilliant minds, one of a child, and another of his Nazi enemy!! Utterly riveting and superbly crafted..forever one of the best books you will ever read!

When this book first came out in the mid to late 80s, I was in high school. At that time I wasn't an avid reader nor did I truly enjoy reading. It was this book that changed that perspective for me. This book was wonderful and exciting to read. The details made visualizing the story easy. Now, as a 29 year old teacher, I still love to go back and reread this book. Granted, I love Harry Potter as much as the next person, but for a truly mature suspense thriller "Daddy" is a sure fire winner. Tom Clancy has nothing on the suspense and emotional investment in the characters that are developed while reading "Daddy." I only wish an excellent screen writer would take it and develop a mini-series. A long major film would lose too much detail and character development in the translation.

This was the FIRST book that "I couldn't put it down! "

The Harry Potter books were the 2nd, 3rd and 4th! :-)

I would highly recommend this book. I, too, would like to know if the author continues to produce books of this caliber. The fact that some of the characters take on a mystical interpretation does not distract from the plot and/or the twists and turns of the plot. Through the author's skill, I entered the child's world and accepted it wholeheartedly. As with film, so with the written word, that if an author can make the reader enter his/her world without hesitation, the story works. This story "cooks!" I have read his two other books but this is my favorite.
