Minos Zombanakis, born in a small Cretan village in 1926, rose to prominence during a fifty-year career as one of the leading figures in the global banking industry. Along the way, he faced the horrors of war, managed to gain admission to Harvard, challenged skeptics, and pioneered many techniques used by international bankers today.

In this authoritative biography, David Lasells presents Zombanakis's remarkable journey through the markets of Europe, America, the Middle East, and Japan, and explains how his innovations literally changed the economic landscape.

"Minos Zombanakis experienced the most significant changes in financial markets in history and contributed to them. He is a legend, not only because of his inspired initiatives in the field of Economics, but also because, although Greek, he is one of those few universal personalities who shaped the international market."
