　　Praise for "Banker to the World"

""Rhodes's recollections are lively and richly detailed, replete

with glimpses of top-ranking personalities from the world of

banking and government interacting under pressure, and they provide

a rare window into how these important but normally secretive

operations of high-level international finance actually work. . . .

Whether America's bankers will run their firms more responsibly in

the future remains an open question. They would do well to have

people like William Rhodes in their senior management--and, next

time around, to listen to them.""

--The New York Review of Books

""Mr. Rhodes was one of the few members of the financial

establishment to sense that the world was on the brink of a

calamity in 2007 (most of the prophets of doom were either academic

theoreticians or maverick financiers) . . . . In "Banker to the

World" . . . Mr. Rhodes succeeds in hammering home three lessons

that we need to take to heart if we are to have any chance of

navigating the troubled waters that lie ahead. . . . Bankers to the

world like Mr. Rhodes are buffetted from one unpredictable storm to

another. They are forever on the verge of being ruined by events.

And they rely on the seat of their pants as much as the power of

their intellects. Mr. Rhodes is rightly proud of his record in

defusing debt bombs and calming financial storms. Let's hope that

his successors will be able to make similar boasts in the decades

to come.""

--The Wall Street Journal

""Bill Rhodes has been the consummate insider in international

issues for more than three decades. He influenced U.S. and foreign

policies on trade, exchange rates, and foreign debt resolution.

Leaders around the world have benefited from Bill Rhodes's advice.

This book gives readers an honest review of the events and of the

political leaders who made the key decisions.""

--Professor Martin Feldstein, Department of Economics, Harvard

University

""Bill Rhodes has made it his life's work to bring common sense

to the most serious international problems. On something I know

firsthand, the Brady Plan, Bill's steady support and energy were

invaluable to its conclusion. This comes as no surprise--that's

what he always does.""

--Nicholas Brady, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury

""Banker to the World," "a book exceptionally well titled, is an

illuminating lesson in leadership, diplomacy, vision, and tenacity.

It will be required reading at all levels of finance.""

--Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State

""Only one person could have written this book. At Citibank for

50 years, Bill Rhodes was a key decision-maker in the negotiations

that took place in indebted countries in the wake of Mexico's

default in 1982. He also was one of the few bankers who saw the

recent 'Great Recession' coming. His memoir is a must for anyone

who wants to recapture the behind-the-scenes details of this

important recent era of banking history.""

--Robert Mundell, Nobel Laureate and Professor, Columbia

University

""A must-read. Bill Rhodes has seen it all, and his experiences

and lessons learned are invaluable for all those involved in

international relations and finance. Some of the lessons are

applicable to problems being faced in the Euro zone and other

advanced economies today. He was one of the few who predicted what

we now call the Great Recession and was called a Cassandra by many

at the time. But, like Cassandra, he was right.""

--Nouriel Roubini, Cofounder and Chairman, Roubini Global

Economics

""William Rhodes' book is an important and interesting one, and

something that those who want to understand the past and present

better would do well to read. A highly talented banker and wise

statesman, Rhodes' book is essential reading as a history,

business, and life lesson.""

-Forbes.com

"" S]hould be required reading not only for other bankers, but

also for Washington's would-be reformers of Wall Street, but most

of all for the ordinary lay citizens dismayed by the persisting

panic. . . .."""

-American Spectator

""An absorbing read.""

--Foreign Affairs

""It should be required reading not only for other bankers, but

also for Washington's would-be reformers of Wall Street, but most

of all for the ordinary lay citizens dismayed by the persisting

panic...""

--American Spectator

""Anyone interested in learning what lessons the emerging markets

restructurings might hold for Europe should read William Rhodes'

book "Banker to the World."""

--John Dizard, Financial Times

""It's hard to quibble with what Bill Rhodes has accomplished.

That much is obvious from the veteran Citi banker's career battling

the world's major financial crises. He reviews many of them in

"Banker to the World," a well-paced account of his 50 years in the

business. He eschews a traditional memoir in favor of a more

didactic approach: the book's subtitle is 'Leadership Lessons from

the Front Lines of Global Finance.'""

--Antony Currie, Reuters/Breakingviews

""Veteran banker Bill Rhodes, who received The Banker's lifetime

achievement award in 2007, has just published a book called banker

to the World: leadership lessons from the frontlines of global

finance. As Mr. Rhodes was at the centre of countless debt workouts

and restructurings in more than five decades at Citi, these are

lessons that younger bankers should definitely learn.""

--The Banker

　　In more than five decades with Citi, William "Bill" Rhodes,

the firm's former senior vice chairman and senior international

officer, has worked with senior business leaders, statesmen, and

strongmen and brokered immense financial deals while looking across

the table at finance ministers . . . and up the barrels of guns

trained on him. He has earned the cooperation of Fidel Castro over

cigars and the admiration of Rupert Murdoch, who said of Rhodes,

""By dogged hard work, Bill forms important and great

relationships. Everyone knows Bill. Everyone t
