Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger is known for his spectacular emergency landing in New York in 2009. In this book, the "Hero of the Hudson" shares his life story. He describes what enabled him to perform his extraordinary act and provides insights into his values such as responsibility, community spirit, and the courage to make difficult decisions independently. His autobiography, originally published under the title "You Don't Have to Be a Hero," served as the basis for Clint Eastwood's film "Sully," starring Tom Hanks. The book includes a 24-page photo section featuring original images from Sully's private archive.
