[QUOTE="DS, post: 753342, member: 556"] This book sounds like a good read for anyone interested in how Fedex got started,I may pick it up to read on my vacation. I found this review on amazon.com From Library Journal When the business world's future leaders need more inspiration, consolation, or good advice than magazine articles can provide, there is finally a place for them to turn: this captivating history of Federal Express and its dynamic founder, Fred S. Trimble, the author of a previous business biography ( Sam Walton , LJ 9/15/90), will have would-be CEOs turning pages in every airport in the country with his short, action-filled scenes, extensive quotes from lords of corporate finance, and willingness to delve systematically into the considerable dirt surrounding Smith's personal and professional life, which includes divorce, death, naivete, a hunger for power, and a penchant for dumping used-up friends. His book does not teach readers how to be transportation moguls, but it does spotlight just how exciting and expensive the flight to success can be. Strongly recommended. - Kenneth M.
