Book excerpt: The Sea and the Hills Elegantly written and suffused with optimism... --Blueink Review, Colorado, USA The Sea and the Hills: The Life of Hussain Najadi, is more than just a memoir of a man with a talent for high fi nance. It is, as the cover notes, a story of oil, politics and justice, and it is the latter that makes the book a good and worthwhile read. -- Mark G. McLaughlin, Clarion Review, USA Ultimately vindicated, the author (Hussain Najadi) reflects upon the ways that fate, determination and the support of loved ones infl uenced his life. He later defi nes success from a signifi cantly altered perspective as he continues to pursue the original quest of building bridges among nations, cultures, and civilisations in order to create a more equitable world in which everyone is able to share the fruits of our global resources. --Kirkus Indie, Texas, USA As a friend for more than 30 years, from the day I met him in Kuala Lumpur, Im extremely pleased that Hussain has told his story. It is fascinating in itself, but it is also worth reading for the lessons it contains. The most obvious is that intellectual curiosity, combined with an open mind and relentless drive, can go a long way towards compensating for the lack of formal education. Readers will fi nd others as well. --Barry Wain, Singapore, Author, former Managing Editor, Wall Street Journal Asia. ...its a fi ne piece of literature, a master piece I should say, true life experience of the up & down, the different culture across the many continents brought down generation after generation, the vision of the past live the present culture, oppression, colonialism, powerful sheikh, fair play, the power that be of the day say it all, it is a very motivational piece of literature to read. -- Albert Cheong ys - Malaysia A brilliant and inspirational story from a charismatic fi gure!

From being ejected from his home country Bahrain for plotting against British colonial rule, to his golden triangle- Western technology, management, and know-how, Asian natural resources, and Arab capital- he has had successes and triumphs at every turn. The book tells the story of his rapid rise to success and his reign as the leader in wholesale and corporate banking in Southeast Asia. Matthew Bryant, Bohlsen Group, Indiana, USA
