Highest duty

my search for what really matters

1st HarperLuxe ed.

In January 2009, the world witnessed one of the most remarkable emergency landings in history when Captain "Sully" Sullenberger safely brought a crippled U.S. Airways flight onto the Hudson River. The successful outcome was the result of effective teamwork, Sully's dedication to airline safety, his belief that a pilot's judgment must go hand-in-hand with - and can never be replaced by - technology, and forty years of careful practice and training. This is the intimate story of a man who embodies what we think of as quintessential American values - leadership, responsibility, commitment to hard work, and service to others --- reminding us that cultivating seemingly ordinary virtues can prepare us to perform extraordinary acts.
