Highly interesting. Rich acknowledges having traded with Iran during the hostage crisis. “It was a political development which did not affect the business,” Rich says in the book. “It was very unpleasant and tragic for the hostages and humiliating for America, but it didn’t affect the business." I was stunned to see that Rich openly talks about his businesses with rogue nations and about his private life.
