"Robert Wood Johnson was one of the twentieth century's most outstanding business executives, and this remarkable book gives us fresh insight into a figure whose impact is still very much evident in the business world today." - Professor Richard S. Tedlow, Harvard Business School. "The fascinating story of the life and times of Robert Wood Johnson. A creative and dynamic leader who put the public trust before profit. He made Johnson & Johnson one of the world's great companies. Then left his fortune to The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to improve health care in America." - from the rear outer jacket. "Robert Wood Johnson was one of the twentieth century's most innovative and colorful business leaders. He built Johnson & Johnson into a world renowned company and gave new meaning to the need for corporations to serve the public interest. His shrewd intuition and endless flow of ideas often became milestones of progress in his many areas of endeavor. He had a flair for adventure, piloted planes and autogyros during the pioneering days of aviation, raced sailing vessels across turbulent oceans with the courage of a pirate, and pursued and married beautiful women. He waged war on the Washington bureaucracy, frustrated his political foes with his tenacity, and kept the press at bay with his sharp wit. His generosity created one of the nation's most significant philanthropies - The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - dedicated to improving health care for all Americans. His remarkable life story is told against a backdrop of historical events of the times. But most of all, it is Robert Wood Johnson's humanity that shines through in ways that will make us remember The Gentleman Rebel." - from the inner front jacket flap.
