COPY ISBN
From a Swiss police captain in 1938 who knowingly breaks the law banning Jews from entering his country to a contemporary whistleblower who loses her job after refusing to sell a product she knows is falsely advertised, this book profiles individuals who follow their conscience rather than personal interest. Maybe not as splashy as some other nonfiction titles, but I was drawn to this one.
