Alan Sugar was born in 1947 and brought up on a council estate in Clapton, in Hackney.
As a kid he watched his dad struggle to support the family, never knowning from one week
to the next if he'd have a job. It had a huge impact on him, fuelling a drive to succeed
that was to earn him a sizeable personal fortune. Now he describes his amazing journey,
from schoolboy enterprises like making and selling his own ginger beer to setting up his
own company at nineteen; from Amstrad's groundbreaking ventures in hi-fi and computers,
which made him the darling of the stock exchange, to the dark days when he nearly lost
it all; from his pioneering deal with Rupert Murdoch to his boardroom battles at Tottenham
Hotspur FC. He takes us into the world of The Apprentice, and describes his appointment as
advisor to the government and elevation to the peerage. Like the man himself, this
autobiography is forthright, funny and sometimes controversial.
