thought shogun the best of that lot. think King Rat , believe his first book, and have read/enjoyed it. also the old King Rat movie that is in black and white is enjoyable.
my question is why do it? Only reason I can think of( and I know next to nothing about it) is to give more capital to parent company if he thinks market may melt down and he wants to make a run at a company and may need some extra financing?
thanks for sharing. do you think he wanted the business to kind of keep tabs on GEICO and how they operated, looking to buy shares and eventually the company?
