Amongst the theatrical nastiness of the BBC's 'Dragon's Den', James Caan appears the nice guy.

In his book James Caan THE REAL DEAL we get a chance to see if he really is all that he seems.

James’s story starts like any other typical Asian family when his father brought them to the East End of London in 1962, when Caan was two. The family settled in a home just off Brick Lane.

In his youth, Caan worked for his father, but his ambitions conflicted with his father’s ideas which led him to undertake one of the scariest and biggest challenges of his young life “ I was sixteen, I had no qualifications, only a Saturday job for money and I was about to walk away from my family” .

From this point he tells the inspiring story of his entrepreneurial life, his love for his wife and two daughters and the fascinating journey which tells of a life that now encompasses such contrasting events as dining with princes and stumbling through Kashmir after the devastating earthquake Woven through the book is a moving human story revolving around James's relationship with his father so overall not just a book for the business minded but for anyone looking for motivational and charming story of a Pakistani immigrant’s bumpy road to success and coveted seat in at the critical acclaimed dragons den.
