Book excerpt: Peregrinations: A Man's Journey is the story of a life that may never have been, that of a man who survived a plane crash, and escaped Portland, Oregon, to become a globetrotting private banker for wealthy Middle Eastern clients. After paying his dues in Liberia under President Tubman, and in Saudi Arabia just before the oil crisis of 1973, Cedric Grant experiences the heyday of international banking, as Walter Wriston transforms Citibank into the largest financial institution in the world. Luck and perseverance combine to turn ugly twists of fate into golden opportunities, and place Cedric in a position to help save Citibank from bankruptcy in the early 1990s.
