AtW's memoirs

Out now!

A Simples Life: The Life and Times of Aleksandr Orlov: Amazon.co.uk: Aleksandr Orlov: Books

AtW in his inimitable style takes us back in time to his ancestors in the Kalahari Desert and why they had to leave; their journey to Russia, their war against Mongis Khan and his Mongoose Horde, and on to starting up the comparethemeerkat company. Aleksandr's family have definitely been through bad times as well as the good, and the start of the company initially semed like it would flop.

Aleksandr then tells us about his life, and you soon see why he is the world's most loved Russian oligarch. A tale of love, heroism and entrepeneurialship there is much here to make you laugh and weep. A story of our times, Aleksandr shows how to make it in today's world. What will be next for him? I have heard rumours that he will be taking over the hit show 'The Apprentice'. This book is full of illustrations, mainly photos, but also the ground plans of his mansion.
