There is a common lament that there are no more heroes... That perception is wrong.
I have spent the last two years interviewing 51 people from 40 countries about the nature of courage. Imprisoned, tortured, threatened with death, these women and men spoke to me with compelling eloquence on the subjects to which they devoted their lives and for which they are willing to sacrifice them from free expressing to womens rights, form environmental defense to eradicating slavery.
