About the book
Here was the greatest market depression in history and it hit him just as he was finally getting the hang of things. It takes practice (and pain) to surmount them and achieve success. But as a commanding officer, he could provide leadership and support and direction to his fellow prisoners (who included future senator John McCain). For instance, in 2006 a long-term hip injury finally caught up with Lakers’ coach Phil Jackson, and the surgery he had to fix it severely limited his courtside movement.
