From the civil rights revolution to the halls of power, this is the life story of a larger-than-life American leader. As a student in Atlanta, Vernon Jordan had a summer job driving a white banker around town. During the man's afternoon naps, Jordan passed the time reading books, a fact that astounded his boss. "Vernon can read!" the man exclaimed to his relatives. Nearly fifty years later, Vernon Jordan, long-time civil rights leader, adviser, and close friend to presidents and business leaders — and one of the most charismatic figures in America — has written an unforgettable book about his life and times.
