Review by Library Journal Review

The chair and CEO of Pfizer, Bourla goes behind the scenes to chronicle the creation of his company's COVID-19 vaccine, a process that under normal circumstances might have taken years. He credits the company's values--courage, excellence, equity, and joy--for making it happen. He also delves into his own background as a veterinarian, a Greek immigrant, and the child of Holocaust survivors; note that proceeds from the book will go to UNICEF and a Holocaust museum. With a 200,000-copy first printing; just moved to March 2022.
