Excellent Book

Gordon Zacks describes his life experiences with world leaders and how these leaders demonstrated the art of diplomacy, performed great acts of courage with exceptional moral character. The profiled leaders did the right thing in very difficult conditions rather than follow public opinion polls.

A Great Look At Great Leaders - A Must Read!

Zacks' book is a rare and intriguing chronicle of his travels and doings amidst the greatest and most courageous leaders of the last 50 years. Indeed, while Zacks says the book isn't supposed to be about him, he actually does end up doing his own moving and shaking around the world, helping to forestall wars, release prisoners from unjust sentences, and help the burgeoning state of Israel survive and grow. You'll see a personal side to Reagan that is unknown to many. You'll see that George Bush, Sr. is a man of strong moral stature who worked hard to earn Gordy's trust and respect. And you'll get to see through the eyes of Israeli leaders as they build a country out of virtually nothing. If you're at all interested in how the world works, and how people can change it for the better, this is a book you must not let slip through your fingers. It'll open your eyes and help you realize what kind of leadership we NEED to see today.

Defining Moments: Stories of Character, Courage And Leadership

It is an absolute compliment when I describe the author as the "Forrest Gump" of Jewish philanthropy. This book captures history as it happenned. His story-telling is second to none and the people Mr. Zacks has met during his lifetime and shares with us in his book are icons worthy of deep review and study. An easy read, but more on point is to call it an important read.

Great & Meaningful Read

Few books capture the moments and thoughts of great people, this book embraces leadership and courage of some the greatest individuals society has known. The perspective defined from Gordy's unique position in being directly involved with these individual, this is a must read for everyone!!

A powerful book!

This is an important book, especially at this moment in history. It profiles a variety of leaders who proved themselves at critical moments, and ended up serving humanity. The author really seems to know what he's talking about. I gave this book to my grandmother and she loves it.
