[Kaufman] is a likable and intelligent narrator who writes with both insight and compassion.” –The Washington Post Book World“A flinty-eyed exposition of a brilliant capitalist, devoted provocateur, and accidental humanitarian.

A compelling narrative notable for its candor and breadth.” –The Plain Dealer“What’s memorable about Kaufman’s biography is its exploration of Soros as a man who satisfied his contemplative side not by making money but by finding visionary ways to spend it.” –Milwaukee Journal Sentinel“The enthralling story of an extraordinary individual. . . . Rewarding reading on several levels–as an adventure story, as food for serious philosophical speculation, and as a peek into the world of high financial wheeling and dealing.” –Fort Worth Star-Telegram“Surprisingly even-handed. . . . A thoughtful analysis on the complex intersection of wealth and compassion.”–Pittsburgh Post-Gazette“Engaging. . . .To call Soros complex is an understatement. . . .
