"A Call to Action" tells the story of Michael Milken's recent philanthropy, which led Fortune magazine to call him "The Man Who Changed Medicine." Twenty years after he first became involved in supporting medical research in the 1970s, Milken formed the Prostate Cancer Foundation to jumpstart progress against that disease, which strikes one of every six men. This book shows how Milken's uniquely well-conceived strategy has helped to save thousands of lives. More than a simple history of an organization that has helped improve the odds for millions of men to beat prostate cancer, it is a guide to building any organization with the objective of overcoming a formidable challenge.
