"Dr.
Borlaug's scientific achievements saved hundreds of millions
of lives and earned him the Nobel Peace Prize and the distinction
of one of the 100 most influential individuals of the 20th
Century."
Jimmy Carter |

"Dr.
Borlaug is an American hero and a world icon."
George H. W. Bush |

"This
biography of one of the greatest men of our time is written
in the same fast-paced, common sense style that has characterized
the amazingly creative life of Norman Borlaug... No one can
tell this story of Dr. Borlaug better than his fellow agriculturist
and development authority, Dr. Leon Hesser."
George McGovern |
