Biography Book Review - Fred Smith and FEDEX

The most sensational company in the history of airfreight distribution is notably FEDEX, as it turned the whole world on its head, thanks to its Founder's vision of a Hub and Spoke distribution system for overnight delivery. Surprisingly, enough, one should not be surprised Fred Smith is the one that came up with this idea. And you might be surprised that his system was originally planned to deliver something else; money. That's right money for the Federal Reserve System.If you'd like to know more about the whole story of how Federal Express came to be so successful, and the outrageous early renegade actions of its founder, and I recommend you do, then let me tell you of a must have book for you or for any entrepreneur you know. The book is called:"Overnight Success - Federal Express and Frederick Smith, It's Renegade Creator" by Vance Trimble; Crown Book Publishers; New York, NY. 1993. ISBN: 0-517-58510-3.The author, Mr. Vance Trimble, is no new comer to writing biographies
of business titans and corporate giants who changed the way business is done, and all that we think we know about the world of business, as he also wrote "Sam Walton" which is the biography of Sam Walton the Founder of Wal-Mart.This is indeed a wonderful book about how entrepreneurs have to scramble to survive and how the early Smith played the game full-tilt, risking it all time after time, to eventually build one of the most respected companies in the business today. Please consider buying and reading this book, or giving it as a gift to an entrepreneurial friend, as they will definitely thank you.
