Magnetic, decisive, fearless, Peter Műnk started with nothing to create one of the most profitable business empires on the planet through a combination of brilliant strategy and opportunism. Since founding Barrick Gold in the early eighties, Munk has built his company into the third largest gold-mining venture in the world. Yet, unlike other prominent business leaders, Munk has kept his profilé low. Little is known about the man and how he thinks and works. Donald Rumball has penetrated the guarded world of Peter Munk to reveal the unique strategies, techniques, and leadership that have given him enormous influence over world gold and investment markets. From Clairtone Sound Corporation, Munk's first spectacular venture, to profitable hotel developments in Fiji and Australia, from his sudden financial collapse when he returned to North America to his equally sudden recovery with Barrick Gold, Rumball traces the circumstances that transformed this Canadian entrepreneur into the quintessential tycoon with the golden touch. For Munk, says Rumball, success starts with a relentless focus on corporate goals and the creation of wealth. Operationally aggressive and financially conservative, he carries his plans resolutely through to their conclusion, generating remarkable innovations to overcome obstacles. The east of characters in his whirlwind career ineludes presidents, prímé ministers, and internationally renowned personalities, such as Frank Sinatra, Anwar Sadat, Adnan Khashoggi, and Brían Mulroney, as weil as Munk's own select team of colleagues.
