Inventing Oneself: Blending Business And Politics

Inventing Oneself is a must read for anyone interested in finance and banking. William F. Craig chronicles the circumstances that led to his resignation as President of Shawmut, a multi-billion dollar Boston bank, pressured by politically supported unions threatening to withdraw millions of City of Boston bank deposits from Shawmut. The story covers family events that occurred during a period that lasted for over 100 years. One man's remarkable life, spanning nearly a century of relentless changes. He has written an engrossing adventure about an extraordinary career. After leaving Shawmut, Craig decided it was time to reinvent himself. With the support of friends and thoughtful investors, he put together a Private Equity Fund and turned his unplanned early retirement into a bonanza by buying billion-dollar foreclosed banks from the U.S. Treasury. Never before had the federal government permitted a private citizen to bid for and acquire distressed banks.
