Excellent autobiography of an American visionary

Read how Avis beat Hertz in the rental car game. No, they weren't bigger. Remember, "We're number 2, so we try harder." But they were the first to move into the airports, and dominated that space long enough to become an institution in the rental car field.Warren Avis was successful in many other businesses. His sound thinking and fearless risk taking helped him in each endeavor.Smart and brave - a winning combination.
