For those who believe US leadership still matters-and that it's never too late to pursue a lifelong dream-Where Have You Gone, Harry Truman? will provoke, inform, and inspire.For three decades, Stanley Weiss has brought rare behind-the-scenes looks at countries most Westerners have only begun to understand, explaining the importance of key issues, players, and regions long before they were considered important. Well before the attention of the world was shifting to the places he knew best-from India to Indonesia, Myanmar to Mexico, Thailand to the Middle East-he was explaining how much they mattered and urging the United States to pay attention. When the history of Asia and the West's pivot eastward in the twenty-first century is written, Stanley Weiss will provide the first draft.This volume of selected articles and essays represents a life at the center of business and international politics.

But what could you accomplish if you never held yourself back? What if, despite your fears, you went for broke every time? You might live a life as extraordinary as the one Stanley Weiss has lived for nearly a century. A skinny Jewish kid from Philadelphia training to fight and likely die in the U.S. invasion of Japan in 1945, Stanley Weiss came home to the death of his loving but weak father, who left his mother penniless. Inspired by a Humphrey Bogart movie, Weiss moved to a foreign country to hunt for treasure-where Rule Number One was "Don't Die." Along the way, his zest for living has taken him from the company of legendary artists and poets in Mexico, to writers and beatniks in 1960s San Francisco and Hollywood; from drunken nights with a notorious spy to friendships with three of the men who played James Bond; from glamorous parties in Gstaad and Phuket to power politics in London and Washington, DC. For those who believe the world is shaped by ordinary people who push themselves to do extraordinary things, Stanley Weiss's story will inspire and surprise while reminding us all that being dead is bad for business-and being boring is bad for life.
