Ross Perot

Ross Perot, a Life of Honor, Commitment, Duty, Patriotism as told to Pat Muth, is an autobiographical account of a life larger than life itself. Focusing on the lessons of life his father taught him and the positive value system given him, the author tells his story which shows how , from those lessons and values, the four cornerstones of honor, commitment, duty and patriotism were set.Writer Pat Muth captures the distinctive voice of the author as he tells of his life starting as a young Texas cowboy then as a naval cadet who  helped create the Academy's honor code and as an entrepreneur he pioneered computer data management as a new way to serve his customers and began to amass a fortune.  When some of his employees were held hostage by Iran, aware of the inherent danger, he led a heroic and successful rescue mission. When he first ran for president in 1992 he called primarily for fiscal discipline, applying a fixed moral compass that foresaw so many of the problems in Washington today. The public Ross Perot is refreshingly recalled and the private Ross Perot, father, husband, benefactor, philanthropist, friend of the military, great friend to the wounded  is given light in a manner that can only be inspirational to the reader.
