WHEN IT COMES TO MILITARY FICTION, CONTS REMAINS ON EVERY FAN'S A-LIST.--BOKLISTThe Chinese dragon is flexing its muscles. As its military begins to prey on neighbors in the South China Sea, attacking fishing vessels and scheming to seize natural resources, America goes on high alert.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. One of TIME Magazine's Must-Read Books of the Year "The joys of Sun's memoir lie in the absurdity of her tasks: coaxing a famous athlete to a company party, sourcing Mitt Romney's phone number on a deadline, coordinating private-jet departures. It's [Sun's] personal revelations that elevate the book above a typical tell-all." --TIME Magazine A gripping memoir of one woman's self-discovery inside a top Wall Street firm, and an urgent indictment of privilege, extreme wealth, and work culture Carrie Sun can't shake the feeling that she's wasting her life. The daughter of Chinese immigrants, Carrie excelled in school, graduated early from MIT, and climbed the corporate ladder, all in pursuit of the American dream. But at twenty-nine, she feels unmoored from her career path and is trapped in an unhappy engagement. So when she gets the rare opportunity to work at one of the most prestigious hedge funds in the world, she knows she can't say no. Fourteen interviews later, she's in. Carrie is the sole assistant to the firm's billionaire founder. She manages his work life, becoming the right hand to an investor who can move mountains and markets with a single phone call. Eager to impress, she soon finds her identity swallowed whole as she plays the game at the highest levels. With her physical and mental health deteriorating, Carrie begins to rethink what it means to be consumed by this world of extremes. A searing examination of our relationship to work, Private Equity is a universal tale of self-invention from a dazzling new voice, daring to ask what we're willing to sacrifice to get to the top--and what it might take to break free and leave it all behind.…
