  WHILE most of his peers were going to fraternity parties and studying in their dorm rooms, Joseph Grano was deep in the jungles of South Vietnam, leading his Army division against the Vietcong. He never got a college degree, but Mr. Grano, now chairman and chief executive of UBS Wealth Management, said in a recent interview that if he had to do it all over again, he wouldn't change a thing.
  
  "I don't regret it," said Mr. Grano, who described being wounded during the war.
  ...
  Mr. Dell and Mr. Grano each have two, and Mr. Neeleman has one.
  ...
  After one semester at Central Connecticut State College, Mr. Grano enlisted in the Army, became a captain in Vietnam and was badly wounded in combat. "There isn't anything more stressful or more shaping than being responsible for peoples' lives," he said. "Being an officer made me realize I had a management ego."
  
  When Mr. Grano returned to the United States, intending to enroll in college, he happened to read about a training program at Merrill Lynch. The next day, he said, he hobbled into the Hartford office with casts on both legs and applied.
  
  Many years later, he is bothered by just one thing. "I often wonder what I missed," Mr. Grano mused. "I could have seen myself in the movie 'Animal House."'

  By Joseph J. Grano with Mark Levine
  ...
  From Vietnam to 9/11, from the market crash of '87 to today's financial crisis, Wall Street legend Joseph Grano has weathered the most defining crises of the last forty years. Whether leading draftees through combat as a Green Beret in Vietnam, regrouping a team of brokers during the market crash of 1987, or working tirelessly to reopen Wall Street after the attacks on 9/11, Grano has served at the front lines of our nation's most defining moments, leading and even inspiring others when things seem at their darkest. Structured around six specific crises he faced in his life and career, YOU CAN'T PREDICT A HERO describes how Grano was able to triumph over challenges both personal and professional. Whether teaching himself to walk again after sustaining crippling battle wounds, rising from his hardscrabble beginnings to become a top broker at Merrill Lynch, or shepherding the merger of PaineWebber and UBS, Grano has learned to find the opportunity in any crisis, how to calm and inspire those he leads, and how to find the real solution to what can appear as an insurmountable problem. This book will inspire anyone looking to make sense of our rapidly changing world, and how to grow and even thrive through any challenge.
  
  Today Grano is Chairman and CEO of Centurion Holdings LLC, a company that advises private and public companies. From 2001-2004, Grano was Chairman of UBS Financial Services Inc. (formerly UBS PaineWebber). Having joined the company in 1988, Grano is credited for turning PaineWebber around and shepherding its merger with Swiss banking giant UBS.
