"Memoirs" was one of several works written by David Rockefeller in his lifetime and was published in 2002. This work is a powerful and revealing autobiography in which Rockefeller narrates his journey as a businessman and philanthropist, offering an intimate and profound view of his life and the economic and social conditions of the United States throughout the 20th century. Over time, various biographies have been written and continue to be written about this iconic magnate and philanthropist, with increasing quality and scope. However, to understand the thoughts and character of a real person, there is nothing better than hearing the story with all its circumstances, mistakes, and successes told by the one who lived it firsthand. This is the purpose of David Rockefellers autobiography. To bring to the public the determined and visionary man who, through his perseverance and intelligence, became one of the most influential figures in the world of business and philanthropy. This work is part of the "Voices of America Autobiographies" collection, which aims to highlight the life stories of important figures in American history, told by themselves.
