This Is Herman Cain!: My Journey to the White House por Herman Cain
I didn't know much about Herman Cain before reading this book. After I finished this book it was pretty clear why Herman Cain was not successful with his presidential bid. He's obviously very successful, but has a lot of disdain for those who do not experience the same kind of success. He is very egotistical, which is great for the board room, but not for the White House.
Quick read for insight into background of Herman Cain. Sadly, it was written with great optimism after he threw in his hat to run for president but before he stepped out and before the November 2012 elections.
Much more than just the CEO of Godfathers Pizza, Mr Cain worked for what he has achieved and made a name for himself by being true to his principles. I found out I knew only about half of his professional career and next to nothing about his early life. He is a true inspiration and proves that despite racism and other barriers, only the individual can allow those obstacles to prevent them from rising.
