圖書介紹
In January 2009, the world witnessed one of the most remarkable emergency landings in history when Captain "Sully" Sullenberger safely brought a crippled US 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. Highest Duty 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 virtue can prepare us to perform extraordinary acts.
