Purchase options and add-ons
Navigating a Life: Henry Bloch in World War II by John Herron and Mary Ann Wynkoop explores how Henry Bloch's wartime experiences molded his character decisively, preparing him to later launch H&R Block, one of the postwar era's major entrepreneurial success stories. As a bomber navigator who defied the odds by surviving dangerous missions over some of Germany's most heavily guarded targets, Bloch learned how to face down fear. In his training before and after combat, especially at the Harvard Business School's Statistical Control Program for military personnel, Bloch further learned how to apply the newest scientific breakthroughs in decision making. Navigating a Life recounts Bloch's service in the U.S. Army Air Force's Ninety-fifth Bomb Group, but readers also glimpse Bloch's life in Kansas City and Michigan before he was called to duty and after the war. Illustrated with personal and historical images, this book shows the challenges that fliers like Bloch faced and why so many lost their lives. Navigating a Life shows how one man finds resilience amid overwhelming challenges. Henry Bloch is the co-founder and chairman emeritus of H&R Block.

Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
This book is about the American spirit, embodied in the men and women who fought in World War II. Henry Bloch, through his early life and his decision to join the fight for freedom, especially exemplifies this spirit. In the process we learn not only about Henry, but we also get extraordinary insight into those who fought for liberty alongside him and faced their own mortality just as he did. Through Henry, we also learn the remarkable impact these brave men and women had on the past seventy years of American history.Henry s story is unique but gives us insight into why we call this the Greatest Generation.They not only risked their lives to make the world free again; they often took great risks to make America great once they returned from the fields of battle. Like Henry, this generation never lost their humanity or their optimism.Americans will forever be indebted to Henry Bloch and those he represents.Richard B. Myers General, USAF, Ret.Fifteenth Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
