Intrigue, Capitalism, Love: My True Story is the fascinating and intriguing true story of one person"s rush through history. Oliver J. DeSofi was born in Cuba and left there during a revolution, only to arrive in Germany during the tumultuous years prior to WWII. Educated in Germany, he attended a military school; and at sixteen, he was a spy for the American government in Soviet-occupied East Germany. Returning to his native Cuba, he continued his education. He earned degrees in math and physics. In the early fifties, as a university student, he participated in revolutionary activities. Then, years prior to Castro"s takeover, he decided to move to the US. He obtained a job at American Airlines and was involved in the development of the famous SABRE system, the first commercial real-time computer system in the world. He was in charge of that, while concurrently working as an FBI undercover operative exposing subversive Castro elements. NBNA, a CIT subsidiary, retained him to modernize the bank. During his tenure, he advanced to EVP in charge of Systems & Operations. He left the bank after his highly skilled organization successfully implemented two on-line systems simultaneously and in record time, an effort recognized by other industry leaders as a unique accomplishment. He became president of a computer services company in Austin, Texas, which he sold to American Airlines. Right after the first Gulf War, Arab National Bank in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia retained him as their head of operations and chief technologist. He implemented a state-of-the-art real-time banking system in that country. He retired at an early age to become a 24/7 caretaker for his quadriplegic wife, who is afflicted by the severest form of Multiple Sclerosis.
