It Should Not Happen in America

From Selma to Wall Street--'a Journey of Fire and Faith'

Beschreibung

A defendant in two of the most infamous Southern trials of the twenty-first century, Richard M. Scrushy has twice found himself in the crosshairs of the U.S. Department of Justice. In both cases, he proclaims his innocence. Now, in It Should Not Happen in America, Scrushy speaks out for the first time and sets the record straight.

Autor

Richard M. Scrushy was born in 1952 in Selma, Alabama, to working-class parents, himself going to work at a local hamburger-and-milkshake stand and as a hotel bellboy at the young age of twelve. After years of hard work as a young man, Scrushy built healthcare giant HealthSouth in Birmingham. This is but one example of his business prowess, as he has founded three billion-dollar companies. In 2004, twenty years after founding HealthSouth, Scrushy was tried for and acquitted of thirty-six counts of fraud. But the former HealthSouth CEO was indicted and ultimately convicted, under questionable circumstances, for bribery alongside then-governor Don Siegelman. Now released and rebuilding his life, Scrushy tells his personal story in It Should Not Happen in America.
