About this listen
The vignettes of the people and places that made impressions on Sowell at various stages of his life range from the poor and powerless to the mighty and the wealthy, from a home for homeless boys to the White House. More than an account of Sowell's life, this is also the story of the people who gave him their help, their support, and their loyalty, as well as those who demonized him and knifed him in the back. It is a study not just of one life, but also of life itself, with all its exhilaration, pain, constant striving, and deserved success.
©2000 Thomas Sowell (P)2001 Blackstone Audio Inc.Critic Reviews
"Offered a job simply because he was a black man, he turned it down and said why. Despite this righteousness, he has retained a sense of humor....Sowell admits to having had plenty of enemies, but enough friends to save him. This memoir should multiply the latter. Jeff Riggenbach...renders the narrative vividly." (AudioFile)

The man behind the writing
Any follower of Thomas Sowell’s work should read this. Not only to understand the man but also to see the parallels between now and the 60s. Well worth it

Bare bones humanity
Sowell lives, works and writes against the grain of socialist, leftist obstructionism and humbug.
Thomas Sowell showcases true US antipathy towards reality and actual social equality.
Sowell is a friend of those who champion personal integrity and perseverance.
Good book, great life.
