Little did he know that he was beginning a long friendship\u2014and a profound lesson in the meaning of life. Charlie White was no ordinary neighbor. Born before radio, Charlie lived long enough to use a smartphone. When a shocking tragedy interrupted his idyllic boyhood, Charlie mastered survival strategies that reflect thousands of years of human wisdom. Thus armored, Charlie\u2019s sense of adventure carried him on an epic journey of the Jazz Age, racing aboard ambulances through Depression-era gangster wars, improvising techniques for early open-heart surgery, and cruising the Amazon as a guest of Peru\u2019s president.<\/p>\n<p>David Von Drehle came to understand that Charlie\u2019s resilience and willingness to grow made this remarkable neighbor a master in the art of thriving through times of dramatic change. As a gift to his children, he set out to tell Charlie\u2019s secrets. The Book of Charlie is a \u201cgenuinely original, formula-shattering\u201d (Bob Woodward) gospel of grit\u2014the inspiring story of one man\u2019s journey through a century of upheaval. The history that unfolds through Charlie\u2019s story reminds you that the United States has always been a divided nation, a questing nation\u2014a nation of Charlies in the rollercoaster pursuit of a good and meaningful life.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Simon &#038; Schuster (May 21, 2024) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 208 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1476773939 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1476773933 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 6.4 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.5 x 0.5 x 8.38 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book entertaining, interesting, and thought-provoking.
