As the title implies, each chapter is like a snapshot taken from a daughters perspective, peering into the past she saw. Silber championed freedom of speech, believing all sides should be heard, especially on college campuses. He was also the father of seven children. The author often meets people who want to hear what he was like as a father and to tell her their own stories about him.Here is her clear-eyed vision of this authentic man of principle who had a drive to achieve great things. Author Biography Author Rachel Silber Devlin is one of John Silbers six daughters.
