The first Ross Perot biography in 25 years by popular newspaper columnist Dave Lieber gathers the legendary stories about the beloved Texas billionaire in one place. Turns out that running for president of the United States (twice) was likely not the most important part of his life. Born during the Great Depression into a happy, peaceful East Texas life, he became one of America's patriots. Whether it was creating the computer services industry, battling General Motors to build better cars or helping veterans, Perot was all in. He woke up every day excited about who he could help and what problems he could solve. Yet the Perot story is also a grand saga of love passed down from generation to generation. And along with that love came strong business values that built the Perot family ethos: Always pursue world-class excellence.

One of the greatest entrepreneurial success stories of the past twenty years When a friend told Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank that “you’ve just been hit in the ass by a golden horseshoe,” they thought he was crazy. After all, both had just been fired. What the friend, Ken Langone, meant was that they now had the opportunity to create the kind of wide-open warehouse store that would help spark a consumer revolution through low prices, excellent customer service, and wide availability of products. Built from Scratch is the story of how two incredibly determined and creative people—and their associates—built a business from nothing to 761 stores and $30 billion in sales in a mere twenty years. Built from Scratch tells many colorful stories associated with The Home Depot’s founding and meteoric rise; shows that a company can be a tough, growth-oriented competitor and still maintain a high sense of responsibility to the community; and provides great lessons useful to people in any business, from start-ups to the Fortune 500.
