Reviews for Saving the Sun
"'Smart and engaging...it's a riveting tale with important insights into Japan's culture and its sclerotic system.' Business Week; 'Saving the Sun is not simply about the fate of one Japanese bank. It is about the clash of two visions of finance...and how hard it is to reconcile them.' The Wall Street Journal Europe"
