The Man Who Sold America: The Amazing (but True!) Story of Albert D. Lasker and the Creation of the Advertising Century Review: Fascinating look at advertising titan - A fascinating look at a multi-dimensional man. Albert Lasker, on the business side, and Claude Hopkins, the fantastically productive workaholic on the creative/copywriting side, practically invented modern advertising (along with John E. Kennedy) and had an immense influence on American society. The well organized book is also thoroughly researched and documented. Lasker's amazing career deserves ten volumes, but this is the best one volume book I've seen. I hope that in future editions there are far more reprints of Hopkins/Lasker's groundbreaking ads, but then I'm an advertising copywriter and advertising buff... There's a lot of interesting personal information here. Mr. Lasker's accomplishments are even more amazing when one considers that he suffered from a manic-depressive disorder, drinking, may have been dyslectic, and was burdened with a wife who was rendered an invalid by typhoid fever only weeks after their honeymoon. Another obstacle for him was anti-Semitism, although this is glossed over in the book, with only passing references. Review: a great read on many levels - If you: a) enjoy reading about the innovative thought process you will like this book. Advertising as we now know it didn't come into being out of the ether. It didn't always exist. It was created. b). are cynical about the intentions of advertising and that it is only about products competing with other products for "market share" - it wasn't always so (and it isn't necessarily so today). This is the story of how advertising "created" markets and in doing so spurred economic growth of the nation; c) read books about business development and strategy this one is full of insight AND not told in the often pedantic way that you are used to reading; d) enjoy biographical accounts of "game changers" you will like the story of Albert Lasker. I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this book. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #402,559 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #551 in Television Performer Biographies #851 in Biographies of Business & Industrial Professionals #1,020 in Communication Skills | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 55 Reviews | ## Images ![The Man Who Sold America: The Amazing (but True!)

I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Your Time and Money *by A***R on July 21, 2015* An engaging read. It covers many aspects of Lasker's life (as a book that strives to be a comprehensive biography should) from his time in advertising, involvement with politics and social causes, to his philanthropic and personal life. I initially started reading it only to learn about his work in the advertising industry and found myself reading the whole book within a couple of days. I strongly disagree with those who found the work boring. It was very well written, interesting, and based on deep research into the source material. Beyond answering questions that I had about the subject (which the authors did exceptionally well) I also judge a book on whether it was worth the time and money I spent on it. In this case the answer is a resounding yes. If you have any interest in the history of advertising, politics, and social causes in the pre-WWII and immediate postwar years, pick it up. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Man Who Sold America: The Amazing (but True!)
