Reviews
Compelling and unique. No other book is capable of telling the story of health and disparity advocacy better than through the words of this leader and architect of the movement. Dr. Satcher sits at the tables where policy and programming are formulated. Readers who intend to be leaders in the quest for health equity will benefit from Dr. Satcher's bird's-eye view.
I have long been an admirer of Dr. David Satcher's work in public health, including his commitment to achieving health equity for all. This book exemplifies his approachable way of explaining complicated issues like ending health disparities and cultivating leadership qualities.
Every public health and academic leader should read this book now. In his rich, nuanced, and memorable voice, David Satcher teaches us about real leadership. His extraordinary ability to move between the worlds of public health and academia is driven by his single, clear passion for health equity, a cause he has advanced more than any other individual.
