Reviews

The variety of personalities chosen, the brevity of the sketch and the inclusion of suggestions for further reading, make this book intriguing.-Catholic Library World
This is a great book...Almost all of the biographies of those included or their companies will be names easily recognized by the readers. The people are all positive examples of businesspersons, something badly needed in today's world of eroding confidence.-Colorado Libraries
