Description
PLEASE HOLD PURCHASES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. CONTENT ISSUES AND FORMATTING ARE BEING ADJUSTED. THE BOOK SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AGAIN BY THE SECOND WEEK IN JUNE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.General Samuel Vaughan Wilson has lived a life of adventure and achievement-from scouting Japanese military positions in Burma to becoming Deputy to the Director of Central Intelligence and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and ultimately the twenty-second president of Hampden-Sydney College. Typifying a generation of hard-working people, he says life happened to give him opportunities-sometimes through his own wisdom, more often by chance-to distinguish himself. Through eighty years of complex decisions and difficult situations, his successes and triumphs, his failures and mistakes have all given him a perspective and a temperament that are positive models for our own personalities.A portion of sales will be donated to Hampden-Sydney College.
