Carole Sumner Krechman Author of About Face published by The Three Tomatoes Book Publishing.
As China achieves prominence under the Communist Party of China, the true story of an American couple doing business in China and entangled in a web of intrigue and crime is as important as it is entertaining and prophetic as it is historic. And there is much to be learned from history. About Face has been a long time coming… over 36 years. It is a story that many powerful people in corporate and political circles did not want to be told then. Perhaps even now, despite warnings about China’s threat to our country from the top U.S. intelligence people and others including Steve Forbes. The 1970s opened the floodgates to trade and diplomatic relations with China. By the early 1980s, everyone wanted to do business in the potentially largest consumer marketplace in the world with an untapped inexpensive labor market. Today, the list of U.S. companies doing business in China is a who’s who of our most venerable institutions. In the early 1980s, with the encouragement and mentorship of Dr. Armand Hammer, founder and Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Company, Carole Sumner Krechman, and her late husband, Sheldon Krechman was presented with the opportunity to expand their U.S. roller rink business into China.
