From the streets of Depression-era Chicago to the skies over war-torn Europe, from the cockpit of a World War II Martin Marauder B-26 bomber to a vice president's desk in the first corporate offices of Ray Kroc's McDonald's Corporation, from the wreckage of a near-fatal car crash in which he almost lost his young family to the busy dining rooms of his grown children's McDonald's stores, Don Conley tells the story of what it takes to grab opportunity when it passes by and to make opportunity when it doesn't.
