An audiobook by Harry A. Lewis, read by LibriVox volunteers (16 h 38 min, English).

"Some succeed while others fail. This is a recognized fact; yet history tells us that seven-tenths of our most successful men began life poor." A selection of mini-biographies teaches us how some successful men have overcome odds to make their mark on history. (Summary by Lynne Thompson; quote from Introduction)
