Synopsis
WHO THE HELL IS BOB? is the rollicking story of one of America's little-known but most successful entrepreneurs, Bob Walsh. Author Steve Rudman uses his considerable talent for writing wry and witty prose to tell what seem to be preposterous tales about Bob and his astonishing antics. More than one influential billionaire, a prominent atheist and famous cardinal, the KKK, CIA, and KGB, several U.S. presidents, a host of sports stars and Hollywood celebrities are just a few of the characters who play parts in this fast-paced nonfiction novel. Hundreds of pictures feature Bob with some of the most prominent figures and events of the twentieth century.

About the Author
Steve Rudman knows his way around big-league sports the way a billiard ball knows its way around a pool table: having paid his dues knocking around the sports world, he now fits comfortably into several different pockets. He has followed the sports beat for a big-city newspaper, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer in Seattle; was founder and editor of The National Sports Review -- for which he received his fifteen minutes of fame on The Today Show; worked in TV as ESPN's Director of Research; and created a strip called "Wow!Stats," distributed nationally and internationally by Universal Press Syndicate.
Steve also admits to having once taught ballroom dancing, a good indication of his sense of humor, which he uses expertly to add flavor to his crisp, intelligent, and metaphor-rich writing.
