In any case, the book is very good, but I skimmed a lot of it. I do know that Grove never returned to his native Hungary as of the printing of this book. Grove states that it is because Hungary is no longer what it once was and I can understand that.
I had not heard of Andrew S. Grove either when I started with this book, so I am pretty bad with the names of recent famous people. Now I know that Grove, born Grof Andris, was a founder of Intel and one of its most celebrated chairmen. ( )
