AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'John Ilhan: A Crazy Life tells the fascinating story of John Ilhan - a working-class immigrant who overcame incredible odds to become one of the richest men in Australia. Founder of phenomenally successful mobile telephone company Crazy John's, Ilhan tragically passed away in 2007 at the age of forty-two.

'As told through the eyes of his family, friends and colleagues, this poignant biography reveals new insights into the man behind Crazy John's, the wife and four children he left behind and his David and Goliath battle with Telstra.

'Ilhan's inspirational journey shows how self-belief, passion and a never-say-die attitude can see you achieve your dreams.' (From the publisher's website.)
