"I'm not usually one for non-fiction, let alone autobiography, but this man was a character. It is history seen through the eyes of one man who not only lived it, but who was gutsy enough to shape it. Slightly baffling if one is unfamiliar with the culture than created him, and that he created. Highly entertaining if one is amused by sheer chutzpah."
