This book is a tribute to what men of character, professional competence, and drive can accomplish. But it is also a lesson about never, ever quitting, even when good and decent, honest and supremely professional people get blind-sided by rapidly changing circumstances or by underhanded dealings. If you want to know how a mature man of character makes his way in a complex and difficult world, here is a case study for the ages. - JOHN SHIMER
