Don't Stand Under a Tree When It Rains

"Invest when there is blood in the streets" was not just a metaphor--it was his reality.



Against the backdrop of a crucial period in the Middle East, Don't Stand Under a Tree When It Rains exposes the dilemmas of investing during the Egyptian uprising and provides advice on dining, bargaining, traveling, praying, and mastering the cultural nuances of working in a foreign country. A mix of A Year in Provence and Adventure Capitalist, this memoir reveals a unique perspective on Arab culture and on business in an increasingly globalized world.
