Dalla quarta di copertina

Named "The #1 Entrepreneur in America" by Success Magazine, March 1995 "The Making of a Blockbuster is an engrossing depiction of an out of nowhere, self-made American industrialist, Wayne Huizenga. It captures with intensity the true grit and dynamic, unwavering character of a blockbuster personality and his rise to this country?s preeminent entrepreneur." ?Sumner Redstone Chairman of the Board, Viacom Inc. "This is more than a book. It?s a fantasy about a man with great vision. A must read for anyone with dreams for their future." ?Aaron Spelling Spelling Television Inc. "Wayne Huizenga has been a major league player in every project and enterprise to which he has applied his considerable talents and wisdom. The corporate boardroom, the VCR in every family?s living room, and the fields of athletic endeavor, all have become a part of Wayne?s World. The name Huizenga is synonymous with heavy-hitter, winner, and most valuable player in everything he does. The Making of a Blockbuster is a modern Horatio Alger story that is sure to inspire and make everyone a fan of Wayne?s hard-work ethic." ?Lawton Chiles Governor of Florida "I have known and respected Gail DeGeorge?s work as a business journalist for some time. Her considerable reporting skills provide an insightful look at the management style of one of America?s most energetic entrepreneurs. In this age of mega-mergers, The Making of a Blockbuster takes the reader on a fascinating journey profiling a consummate deal-maker?from hauling trash to renting videos." ?Linda O?Bryon Senior Vice President & Executive Editor, Nightly Business Report "I have always admired anyone who makes it on their own and Wayne has done that in a big time way while never forgetting where it all began. The whole story is between the covers of this fascinating book, The Making of a Blockbuster." ?Frank Gifford ABC Sports
