Summary:
"A titan of the oil industry who lived the quintessential American dream. An immigrant kosher butcher's son who built an oil dynasty that may never be matched. His multinational, multi-billion-dollar company began with a single second-hand delivery truck and the business acumen of one young man. Today's aspiring entrepreneurs can learn from the story of one of the nation's most inspiring success stories. Leon Hess built a global empire from the ground up. Along the way, he fought in a war, did business with Muammar Qaddafi, won a Super Bowl as the owner of the Jets, was involved in Watergate, and introduced the Hess toy truck that became a holiday tradition for millions of Americans. More than just a book of business strategy, Hess tells the story of a life fascinatingly lived, and the legacy he left behind"--Provided by publisher.
