The Story behind the Book: Road Map to Power (Husain & Husain)
The beginning for Road Map to Power occurred on the melting asphalt of a parking lot on a blistering Missouri summer day. It was there my father hitched a ride home from a work colleague named Bill.
I will spare you the details of the encounter – you will have to read the book! – but the experience served as an inflection point in my father’s life. From many vantage points, Dr. Syed Arshad Husain was the American dream manifested. Born into humble beginnings, he immigrated to the United States and reached the pinnacle of his profession. On the way to the top, however, my father had drifted from the reasons why he embarked on the journey in the first place. His experience with Bill was a course correction and Dr. Syed Arshad Husain rededicated his life’s work to serving the most marginalized and forgotten in our society.
