Книга: Alan Sugar «What You See Is What You Get»
Born in 1947 and brought up on a council estate, as a kid Alan Sugar watched his dad struggle to support the family, never knowing from one week to the next if he'd have a job. It had a huge impact on him, fueling a drive to succeed that was to earn him a sizeable personal fortune. Here he describes his amazing journey, from schoolboy enterprises like making and selling his own ginger beer to setting up his own company at 19; from Amstrad's groundbreaking ventures in hi-fi and computers, which made him the darling of the stock exchange, to the dark days when he nearly lost it all; from his pioneering deal with Rupert Murdoch to his boardroom battles at Tottenham Hotspur FC. He takes us into the world of The Apprentice-including how he is responsible for Piers Morgan winning the U. S version-and describes his appointment as advisor to the government and elevation to the peerage. Like the man himself, this autobiography is forthright, funny, and sometimes controversial.
