Like every youngster, John Durbin Husher had many heroes growing
up, and they continued to inspire him into adulthood. If he saw
Muhammad Ali knock out an opponent, he was thrilled. When he
learned about Winston Churchill and how he stood up to the Nazis,
he knew what it meant to be a leader.And of course, when he heard
John F. Kennedy speak, he felt proud to be an American.
Many of the dozens of heroes profiled in "Heroes Afar" come from
the sports world, but politicians, scientists, and actors also
encouraged Husher, and he artfully reveals why these great men and
women were such an inspiration to him and so many others. Filled
with lessons on leadership and each individual's effect on history,
this intriguing work is one man's tribute to some of the world's
greatest heroes.
For those seeking to learn more about the past and the people
who have influenced our lives, "Heroes Afar" is the perfect
read.
