Gordon Zacks, a prominent Jewish businessman, has had the privilege of working with some extraordinary and courageous people, people who taught him valuable lessons about leadership and life, and whose portraits are drawn here in close focus. These stories are first-hand accounts of how people -- some famous, some not -- followed their passion, lived their purpose, and aspired to be part of something greater than their selves. Zacks was born in 1933, and became aware as a youngster of Hitler, the War, the Holocaust, and the creation and growth of Israel. He determined while still a young man to be part of the redemption of the People of Israel. That has been his passion... and his purpose. The book includes accounts of Natan and Avital Sharansky, of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, of Golda Meir, David Ben-Gurion and Menachem Begin, of daring Danish fishermen during World War II, of the heroic Bulgarian Orthodox Church that wouldn't give in to the Nazis, and many others. It is inspiring and informative, and reveals humanity through the stories of courageous actions by individuals at a defining moment in their lives.
