First time author Nicolas Thomas delivers an autobiography that reads like a novel. It's the story of one stubbornly principled man against the American corporate leviathan. A tale of naivety turned disillusion turned failure, then ultimately resolution and success. In the process, Thomas reveals for dear readers the sordid underbelly and inner working of a paradigm of modern corporate corruption. He explains and speculates how things could go so terribly wrong under the very noses of the thousands of employees that should have known, indeed must have known, but remained silent. It is an iconic American story worthy of a Clint Eastwood movie, and a must read for those still wondering how and why corporate scandals like Enron, MCI, et al ever happened.

Gives actually conversations and confrontations between the author and executive officers. Even includes actual performance review documents and internal memos. You get an inside look into the workings and games played in a large company. Some of these things are actually hard to believe really happened.

A view into the inner workings of corporate America; plus a fascinating personal journey.

We started reading the Kindle version on a trip. Read it in the car whenever we can! Enjoying it so much that neither of us will let the other read ahead independently to get ahead!
