BEYOND TALLULAH<\/h2>\n

Written by Dennis Hamiltion and published in 2011 by Melcher Media, Beyond Tallulah<\/strong> is the illustrated biography of Sam Wyly, the most versatile big-company entrepreneur in American history. \u00a0It tells one of the most compelling untold business stories of our time. In Beyond Tallulah<\/strong>, we watch Wyly journey from small-town high school football in the South to IBM in its Information Age heyday, from the takeover wars of the 1980s to adventures in big-scale national retailing, from the Alaska pipeline to a new generation of clean energy. Wyly\u2019s life promises to fascinate and inspire readers, while also serving as a blueprint for aspiring entrepreneurs.<\/em><\/p>\n
