I read both Ogilvy on Advertising, and also, his Autobiography. Ogilvy was an interesting man, argueably the greatest advertising mind of all time. Born in Great Britain, he served in the intelligence community in the U.S. during World War ll, and lived among the Amish people, pursuing a simple farming life for a few years. -Ace Coldiron
