Beschreibung:
Chic Dambach helped end wars in Africa and provided leadership in the global peacebuilding community - leading to a Nobel Peace Prize nomination in 2017. His fascinating life and wide ranging career includes 1960s student activism, Peace Corps service, champion athlete and Olympic Games official, nonprofit governance expert, adjunct faculty at three universities, and national leadership in the arts. Along the way, he donated a kidney to his youngest son, served as a congressional chief of staff, met with world leaders, and helped lead a global anti-bullying organization. His TEDx Talk "Why Not Peace" is available on YouTube.
Inspired by the leaders, causes, and music of his youth, Chic Dambach set out to change the world. This is the fascinating life story of a '60s antiwar and free speech leader who remained true to his values and helped build a more peaceful world. Along the way, he witnessed the torture of a black football teammate, he led a strike for his Peace Corps training group, his best friend and mentor was murdered, he donated a kidney to save his son's life, faced financial ruin, helped end two major wars in Africa, and created the first Global Symposium of Peaceful Nations. Exhaust the Limits is a compelling adventure story and road map for idealists young and old.
