This book presents the story of a young man with an unre-lenting will to succeed and make a name for himself. In spite of his humble origins and the many challenges and obstacles that modern life placed in front of him, his strength was his own determination to work hard and do well, and to secure a good and honest standing in society for himself and his family. Throughout his life he was twice battered by oppressive and powerful Marxist ideologues, yet he never capitulat6ed or gave up on his dreams. His quest and accomplishments were by no means unique but exemplify the triumph of men and women who find within themselves the resolve and strength to succeed, give meaning to their lives, and contribute to a better society.
