Citizen Perot

Rating:
Summary: Very Little Respect from the Author
Review: I'm not a fan of Ross Perot, but Posner has no respect for him. If you read between the lines of this book, you'll see that Ross Perot is a fighter, inovator and gets what he wants(usually).
Posner is continually making statements that make Ross Perot look like a dufe. (Is dufe a word?)
It was an easy read and I learned a lot about Perot, if you read nothing else, read the last chapter which really shows that Ross has changed this country.

Summary: All you ever wanted to know about Perot.
Review: This is a thoroughly readible biography of one of America's key personalities. Gerald Posner has done excellent research. This book documents the highs and lows of Perot's life and personality. Here is a man of extreme talent, who knows how to get results. I am convinced more than ever that he could have been President. He would have shaken up the government for more good than bad. Perot's populist political ideas still have great merit even though he has basically passed from our political scene. I am surprised that I should be writing the first customer review of this book three years after its publication. I strongly recommend this book because it is good history, good writing, and completely documents Perot's impact on many significant happenings during the past 40 years.
