Our Review
Before the beginning, this book gives the impression of a long and boring biography.
It is not but with a massive surprise that a whole picture is exposed right after the few first 10 to 20 pages.
The book, in fact, is a magnificent writing job about his personal life and experience, still very young, escaping from Cuba to the USA and climbing all the steps to the top of his career as a successful executive in the communications industry.
It is a very inspiring book that explains victory in America is a possible dream mostly to anyone who proposes to work hard and with high values.
It teaches you how to turn adversity to advantage in business and life.
The book was Published by By Thomas Nelson on 2009 and was kindly sent to us for an uncompromised review through the Thomas Nelson Book Sneeze Program.

That sounds like an interesting book especially by someone who has worked their way up in the world by using hard work and not expecting things to be handed to them on a plate.
It takes a lot of work to reach the top of an international organisation and his story must be very interesting
