A Vision for Venture Capital chronicles a distinguished career on the frontiers of international finance during the past half-century. Peter Brooke has been called "the Johnny Appleseed of venture capital" for his role in the industrys spectacular growth-- from a small base in the Northeastern United States in the 1960s, to todays highly visible role in economies all over the world. The key to Brookes success--and his lasting legacy--is his vision for the industry as an essential element of economic growth and development.
