Between Two Worlds : Escape From Tyranny : Growing Up in the Shadow of Saddam

29 reviews
Zainab Salbi, Laurie Becklund, 2005

Excellent Story and Storytelling
I would highly recommend this book. Zainab gives the reader a deep look into the emotional roller coaster she and her mother went through under Saddam Hussein, along with an excellent revelation of how Saddam was able to control and rule his people. It is horrific, compelling and a must read. I cannot stop thinking about the book, it was so good!

Swoosh the unauthorized story of nike and the men who played there

J.B. and Laurie Becklund Strasser

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1991

Incredibly Riveting Narrative
Nike's story is one of the most fascinating in business, especially for those of us that grew up in Nike's prime. The authors did an incredible job of storytelling, starting with a young Phil Knight and his MBA thesis all the way to the early 90's... Lots of inside "dirt" but hardly a gossipy work. You will be amazed at the inner workings of this company.
