A very detailed account of one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. A few of the details were left out but it was a great expose on Mr. Wilson and the founding of the program. He was a promoter and a late stage alcoholic who, in the right time and place, with some divine intervention became a great man, despite himself. The book shows the warts as well as the accomplishments and therefore was a great biography. ( ) Interesting and insightful biography of the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous is marred by the author's tendency to delve too deeply into the subject's inner thoughts. Long portions of the book read more like a novel than a biography, as the author plumbs the innermost workings of the subject's mind. Still, a worthwhile read for persons interested in the history of AA. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Robert Thomsen's biography describes the story of Bill W., a stirring spiritual odyssey through triumph, failure, and rebirth, with vital meaning for men and women everywhere. This is the story of a man whose discovery and vision have changed the lives of millions of people throughout the world. Robert Thomsen's biography takes readers through the events of Bill W.'s life, all the while detailing Bill's growing dependence on alcohol. Thomsen writes of the collapse that brought Bill to the verge of death and of the luminous instant of insight that saved him. This turning point led Bill to the encounter in 1935 with Dr. Bob and the start of what was to be a new beginning for countless others who despaired of finding rescue and redemption. Every night at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings around the world, a speaker says, "Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like, what happened, and what we are like now." This describes the story of Bill W., a stirring spiritual odyssey through triumph, failure, and rebirth, with vital meaning for men and women everywhere.
