“The Gambler” – Book about life of Kirk Kerkorian published
STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 25, ARTSAKHPRESS:The author of the book is William C. Rempel.
Rempel told New York Times that his greatest discovery about Kerkorian was that the business magnate participated in WWII as a pilot.
“Many of those pilots weren’t returning, and he was risking everything. He also had a boxing career. How many of our present moguls and tycoons could you picture in the ring?”, he said.
Speaking about why people should read the book, he said: “This is one of those inspirational all-American tales of a poor immigrant’s son going from rags to riches with good old-fashioned hard work and sheer daring. In this era of anti-immigrant rhetoric, it’s a reminder of how important immigrants have been to all aspects of this country.
