The story of how Robert Clifford went from being a poor dunce to a global shipping entrepreneur reads like adventure fiction, but it is all true. The tale contains the usual quota of disaster and triumph, spiced with an account of ingenuity and invention at work. But behind the swashbuckling adventure story lies a complex, affectionate and little-understood man of surprising sensitivity and creativity. He is a man quite unlike the standard-issue 'businessman'.
