Books by Michael S. Malone
Four Percent is one of the most complete histories of the Boy Scouts of America ever written and the first to focus on the remarkable story of Eagle Scouts. Award-winning author Michael S. Malone, himself an Eagle, brings the eye of a veteran journalist to a story that for too long has been wrapped in myth and prejudice and uncovers one of the most important, but least celebrated, movements in modern American history. Four Percent is more than just a history of the Eagle Scout rank, but also the story of many Eagles a President of the United States, dozens of astronauts (including Neil Armstrong), Medal of Honor recipients, Nobel prize winning scientists, authors, movie stars, titans of industry, Senators, Congressmen and Governors, civil rights leaders, and community activists who have transformed the face of America over the last century.
Filled with vivid historic anecdotes, compelling profiles, and surprising facts, Malone has brought to Four Percent the eye of a world-class writer, the insider experience of being an Eagle Scout himself, and the objectivity of a career journalist, to produce the best book ever about America's Eagles and perhaps even about Boy Scouting itself.
Michael Malone pens Running Toward Danger in attempt to illustrate the dedication, honor and nobility exhibited by those who receive the Honor Medal of Lifesaving- the least-known, least-presented award given by the Boy Scouts of America.
It is one of the least-known and least-presented major awards offered by the Boy Scouts of America. But similar to the Eagle Scout medal, it also is highly celebrated--perhaps more. It is the Honor Medal for Lifesaving. In over a hundred past years, a little more than a thousand of these highest medals have been awarded to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, Venturers, Varsity Scouts, and adult volunteers. And every one of those rescues is an unforgettable story.
Featuring a remarkably unique and cutting-edge layout with original Marvel-style imagery, Running Toward Danger is the first book that tells the extraordinary saga of Scouting's Honor Medal recipients and how the award itself transformed American life. Including more than 150 accounts of the most remarkable and hair-raising Honor Medal rescues of the last century, this book celebrates the courage, resourcefulness, and compassion of our nation's youth.
You will never forget these remarkable stories of young people who, when met with the ultimate challenge, did not hesitate to run toward danger to help others.
