★★★★★ The author’s ability to weave business strategy, technology history, and human drama into a single narrative is exceptional. – Amazon Review
The year is 1985. Henrik Bertelsen is walking a knife’s edge: sales director at a crisis-stricken American tech company, father of young children, and ambitious amateur musician.
In the small terraced house in the housing cooperative, his wife, Sammy, struggles to rediscover herself after maternity leave while juggling a demanding executive job that clashes with Henrik’s frequent travels.
When Gorbachev introduces glasnost and Reagan responds with a new course, Henrik is sent to Moscow to pursue the billion-dollar order that could save the company.
But behind good intentions and polite smiles lurk hidden agendas, power struggles, bribery, and moral grey zones.
The Dollar Compass is an intense and thought-provoking story about how small compromises can grow into great betrayals—and how far a person can be driven before losing themselves.
★★★★★
“Entertaining and informative case study of entrepreneurial success
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in business or entrepreneurship. As many have stated, it could easily be a case study or mandatory reading for business and management schools.”
