Taped inside front and rear covers are related newspaper/magazine articles. Includes a foreword by Walter Duranty. "...the book tells of how Dr. Hammer became the first concessionaire of the U.S.S.R. It tells of how with a fine blending of humanitarian efford and business energy, he achieved success and of how in addition to what he won from development and enterprise, he gradually acquired a collection of rich and exquisite treasures which had originally been personal possessions of the Imperial Family. It is really fascinating reading. In living through his experiences and writing about them, Dr. Hammer doubtless felt keenly what he says at the outsiet: 'Business is business, but Russia is romance.'" - dust jacket.
