He figures if he can do it, so can you." (Front Flap)

Signed on top of title page, "To Stephen Michael D'Antonio 1-24-06" Book was signed in Hershey, Pa.  Mr. D'Antonio did not do an extensive book tour, so signed copies are very limited.

In this compelling biography, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael D'Antonio gives us the real-life rags-to-riches story of Milton S. Hershey, a largely uneducated businessman whose idealistic sense of purpose created an immense financial empire, a town, and a legacy that lasts to this day." Simon & Shuster blurb.
