OverviewComments from bestselling author P.J. O'Rourke: Sons in the Shadow is a wonderful book. I was particularly moved by the Forbes and Fallout and Never Sell - Never? chapters. I admire Park's honesty and bravery in putting all this down on paper (and I loved naming the dog Forbes ). Having grown up in a family business (albeit on a much smaller scale), I'm alive to the politics involved. My grandfather, J.J. O'Rourke, started O'Rourke Buick in Toldeo, Ohio and everyone in my enormous Irish family was involved. (My first job was there, of course.) I took my wife to meet my family and she said, afterward, All anybody talks about is your Grandpa Jake - and he's been dead for 50 years. I told her, They'll still be talking when he's been dead for 100. Sounds like the same will be true of the senior Roy Park. I also want to thank the author for a thought I intend to drill in to my children: God gave us a soul. Our duty is to give it meaning. He wants it back. Congratulations on a splendid book - one that should be a text in every MBA program. Business is a lot more than a bunch of numbers. (As some business types on Wall Street have been finding out.) Everything in life is about people. We can finish our MBA studies or our Poly Sci studies or our J-School studies, or whatever, but we're never done with our study of people. And Park has written a great one. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jr. Roy H.
