Born of this land : my life story by Chung Ju Yung

This book is an English Edition of Hyundai Group founder Chung Ju-Yung's autobiography "Born of this Land." It is now possible to read in English the journey of leaving home penniless and creating Hyundai Group only with his two mottos, sincerity and credit.
