The Triumph of His Dream - How total audacity took me from hidebound England to the City by the Bay (Paperback)


In 1967, John Eastwood was a junior engineer at Boving and Company, Ltd., a well-established London-based supplier of water turbines for hydroelectric dams. Boving had no interest in pursuing work in the "litigious" U.S. until Eastwood parlayed a simple idea into a massive opportunity. It took curiosity, chutzpah, and overoptimism as to Boving's abilities for Eastwood to partner with a U.S. manufacturer, find a legal advisor, and make other business arrangements, often before checking in with Boving. Along the way, he developed unexpected skills and created an exciting new life.
