The One Eyed Man Is King: A Story of Winning

by Gordon Graham

The One-Eyed Man is King is the story of a man who practiced dishonesty and perfected it as a way of life until he knew no other way to exist. It is about a man who had no love for himself or humanity. It is the story of a man who changed dramatically from a scared, naive kid to a sophisticated, manipulative convict leader; but who ultimately progressed through the complex challenge of change to become the founder and president of a national educational and training organization. The One-Eyed Man is King is the story of the life of Gordon Graham. Not so long ago, he was introduced as Gordon Graham, convict #28203, consumer of correctional services. Today, he is introduced as Gordon Graham, author, lecturer, educator, founder and president of Gordon Graham and Company. Change is his business and his life. Hopefully, by living through his experience via the pages of this book, you may reach a new awareness of this change is possible! Gordon knows this is so. He is a product of that change!

Reviews

[Christine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great account of the reality of life for both natives and the interlopers. This kind of book should not be forgotten, even if some would choose to focus on what we now call "politically incorrect" words and ideas.
