Publisher's summary

ONE DOLLAR MAN er den glemte historie om cykelsmeden, der udvandrede med immigrantskib fra København i 1900 med 30 dollars på lommen. Han kæmpede sig op fra bunden af det amerikanske samfund og blev en af USAs største og bedst betalte erhvervsfolk, inden han blev hentet til Washington DC for at hjælpe præsidenten.

William S. Knudsen havde et usædvanligt talent for at organisere mænd og maskiner. Han satte samlebåndsproduktionen i system hos Ford, skabte bilmærket Chevrolets store succes og blev øverste direktør for General Motors med 250.000 ansatte. I Washington blev han en nøglefigur under krigen, hvor han som trestjernet general var med til at vende de allieredes krigsheld i kampen mod Hitler og japanerne.

ONE DOLLAR MAN er skrevet af Ole Sønnichsen, der også skrev det anmelderroste tobinds-værk "Rejsen til Amerika". Bøgerne blev senere filmatiseret som dokumentarserie til DR K. Ole Sønnichsen har skrevet en lang række anmelderroste bestsellere. Han har bl.a. skrevet om Ulf Pilgaard, Dirch Passer, Johannes Møllehave og Joachim Boldsen.

Profile Image for Birthe W. Gooden

A great book and a great man.

I enjoyed this book. I came to America in 1957 and can identify with the immigrant experience.
