Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "Earl Carroll, colossus of Philippine insurance, was also a wartime hero who never held a gun, never fought a battle; built the first housing subdivision for middle-class Filipinos; made friends among Presidents and peasants because underneath his white skin was a Filipino nationalist. Earl Carroll, supersalesman, wasn't born that way. He made it happen. This biography tells how he blazed the trail for insurance, converting a newfangled business into a multimillion-peso industry in a country where the people believed in preordination, not premiums."
