A lesson in tenacity and the one track mind,
By
This review is from: A. P. Giannini: Banker of America (Hardcover)
When people say "You have a one track mind" they mean it as an insult.After reading this book about A. P. Giannini, you'll be able to take it as a compliment. What he did for banking in America we now take for granted. It wasn't always so. He had a single minded purpose, "To give the little guy a bank who will do business with him." He was going to do that no matter what! And he did.The man was a bull dog in his accomplishments! This an excellent book about a unique man who has largely been forgotten in our day.He created the modern bank.

THE PEOPLE'S BANKER,
By
This review is from: A. P. Giannini: Banker of America (Hardcover)
Most people today never heard of A.P. Giannini. Yet, they can probably thank him for most of the banking services that they take for granted: consumer loans, mortgages, interstate and branch banking. Giannini brought banking to the masses. Bonadio's book chronicles the life and struggles of this man who helped build California and modernized the whole business of banking.
