"The heroes of today have different faces, and the word itself has a more precise meaning for all of us. Peter Gibbon's book could not be more timely as we look around to identify those in our lives who are making up a new generation of heroes."
New York State Governor George E. Pataki
"A Call to Heroism is an engaging and provocative discussion of the role of the hero in American life. Peter Gibbon's book should be lively fare for classrooms and boardrooms through the country."
