Here is the gritty, powerful story of Thomas Sowell's life-long education in the school of hard knocks, a journey that took him from Harlem to the Marines, the Ivy League, and a career as a controversial writer, teacher, and economist in government and private industry. It is also the story of the dramatically changing times in which this personal odyssey took place.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

I strongly recommend everyone to read and learn from this memoir.
It is guidance for all who are being oppressed anywhere in the world.

Best memoir ever.

Wonderful to get to know this man who by his writing on economics, race and culture fed my intellectual hunger for insights and ideas.
I really enjoyed the look into his life and times, also to see how a real intellectual acts and thinks. It’s all very fascinating and the memories have its warmth and sorrow and triumphs.
That being said the reader read to fast and the editing and the starts and stops really took me out of the flow far to often.
Wonderful book though, even with the issues.

Great memoir, tough listening, bad editing.

Thomas Sowell must have some more great stories that couldn't fit in this wonderful book! I wish I could sit in on one of his lectures, this book was so beautifully written.

Thomas Sowell the best man for the job

As a long time fan of Dr. Sowell I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about his life experiences. I also found this book to be historically enlightening and can’t help but think more people should read this book, especially in today’s political environment.

The only criticism I have is that the narrator’s performance is fairly lackluster. I would have loved to have heard Dr. Sowell do the reading instead.

Loved it

Thomas Sowell is one of the most inspiring persons of our generation. His story shows what integrity and having standards looks like and what possible outcomes can come from your own life if you behaved in a similar fashion.

A Great Story

Thomas Sowell determination to seek facts not opinions and live with integrity was refreshing to witness.

Very Good read!

Having read quite a few of Sowell's writtings, APO gives a great deal of insight into how this literary powerhouse began his fateful path toward academia and authorship, with having written some of the most intellectually provocative works of our time. Sowell's writtings are truly an inspiration for the contemporary intellectual community. A Must Have In Your Literary Arsenal.

Loved the insights of seeing the world as it was & how it's devolved to what we have today. True growth & understanding comes in looking outside & beyond the status quo.
