John Whitehead began life in Montclair, New Jersey, as a child
of the Depression and went on to lead an exemplary life in the
years of the Greatest Generation. In this intimate, charming
autobiography, he shares his stories and the lessons hes learned
about quiet leadership. He describes how on D-Day he commanded one
of the landing crafts at Omaha Beach, and witnessed one of the
greatest battles in American military history. Later, in his role
as co-chair of Goldman Sachs, he was one of the pioneers of the
globalization of international finance that was to change the face
of American business. In 1985, Whitehead was appointed Deputy
Secretary of State under President Ronald Reagan and became the
architect of the Reagan administrations successful efforts to wean
the countries of Eastern Europe from the Soviet Union and to open
up space there for the democratic movements that eventually
resulted in the fall of the Berlin Wall. Most recently, he was
appointed by New York Governor George Pataki as Chairman of the
Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, which is charged with the
task of rebuilding Ground Zero. Whitehead provides a first-hand
account of the difficult decisions the LMDC has made in meeting its
goals of re-developing lower Manhattan and honoring the victims of
911 as the capstone of his remarkable career.
