Book Description
The first Ross Perot biography in 25 years by popular newspaper columnist Dave Lieber gathers the legendary stories about the beloved Texas billionaire in one place. Turns out that running for president of the United States (twice) was likely not the most important part of his life. Born during the Great Depression into a happy, peaceful East Texas life, he became one of America's patriots. Whether it was creating the computer services industry, battling General Motors to build better cars or helping veterans, Perot was all in. He woke up every day excited about who he could help and what problems he could solve. Yet the Perot story is also a grand saga of love passed down from generation to generation. And along with that love came strong business values that built the Perot family ethos: Always pursue world-class excellence.

Ross for Boss
Author: Ted G. Jelen
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791491161
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Ross for Boss provides insights into the sources, continuity, and enduring importance of Ross Perot's presidential candidacies in 1992 and 1996 as a member of the Reform Party, and evaluates the impact of the Perot phenomenon on the future of both public policy and the U.S. party system. Using theoretical and historical literature on third parties and independent candidates, the contributors identify the sources of Perot's support and opposition among political activists and the mass public. Perot's supporters are understood as "zealots of the center" who resist partisan and ideological polarization. Perot himself, the authors suggest, was a master showman, able to use classical theatrical forms to establish himself as an improbable, yet inevitable, leader of a mass movement. His support came from people whose economic interests were directly threatened by increases in the global scope of the U.S. economy, and—like other third party candidates of the twentieth century—from those without formal religious affiliations. Comparisons of the 1992 and 1996 campaigns show that the decline in support for Perot was, for the most part, uniform across geographic regions and demographic groups.
