BEN CARSON, MD, was raised by a poor single mother in
Detroit. He retired as the director of pediatric neurosurgery at
Johns Hopkins Hospital after a groundbreaking medical career of
more than
thirty-five years. He is the author of eight previous books,
including One Nation, America the Beautiful, and Gifted Hands. A
former member of the President's Council on Bioethics, he is the
recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest
civilian honor in the country.
Dr. Carson and his wife and coauthor, CANDY CARSON, are the founders of the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes the achievements of deserving young people. They have three grown children and two grandchildren, and now live in Florida.
"His groundbreaking contributions to medicine and his inspiring
efforts to help America's youth fulfill their potential have
strengthened our Nation."--Presidential Medal of Freedom, 2008 "The
Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon may not be politically correct, but he's
closer to correct than we've heard in years."
--The Wall Street Journal "Dr. Carson prescribes a dose of 'tough
love' to cure the nation's ills and restore our faith in government
and ourselves."--Sam Donaldson
"A speech worthy of Booker T. Washington. . . . The beauty of
Carson's argument exceeds its simplicity."
--Jonah Goldberg, National Review
