Undaunted by the objections of her family, sects of Jewish culture, and the back door politics of powerful governments, Goldas DNA demands pragmatic decisions that reveal her destiny and the unwavering conviction that all people can live in peace and with dignity.

In an obscure village in Pakistan, 9 October 2012, a girl, Malala Yousafzai, makes a decision to go to school.
Malala Yousafzai
Education is taken for granted every day by millions of families across the world, but for some children pursuing an education endangers their lives. In Malalas town, the Taliban was determined to intimidate those who would defy their decreegirls were not to be educated. The Talibs boarded Malalas school bus and shot her in the face. Malala survived.
This brutal retaliation put Malala on the world stage before government leaders. Addressing the United Nations on July 12, 2013, Malalas speech is a message of peace and understanding. She is the next generation carrying in her the spirit of Nelson Mandela, and she is the youngest person to ever be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Here is an excerpt from her UN speech:
I speaknot for myself, but for all girls and boys.
I raise up my voicenot so that I can shout,
but so that those without a voice can be heard.
Those who have fought for their rights:
Their right to live in peace, Their right to be treated with dignity,
Their right to equality of opportunity, Their right to be educated.
Golda Meir would have been the first to applaud Malalas speech. Golda, forever pragmatic, would have found ways to help Malala bring to life these ideals because these were Goldas ideals too. Malala, a Muslim, would have accepted this kindness from Golda, a Jew, because Malala also says in her speech:
This is what my soul is telling me, be peaceful and love everyone.
Malala Yousafzai, this book, Golda Meir ~ True Grit, is dedicated to you. May your spirit of peace and understanding continue to stir in us the courage to stand for justice.
I would like to thank the wonderful people who took the time to read and give input to the Golda book. Your insights and comments helped shape my writing. Future readers wont be able to express their thanks, but I do.

In Memory of
Edward J. Atkins, Colonel, USAF (retired)
July 10, 1948 June 9, 2014
The dash between Eds date of arrival and departure is both literally and figuratively a very small way to represent his magnificent life. The full measure of his character is not in the public arena of the 26 years he dedicated to serving his country as an aviator in the USAF or the 17 years of leadership to Chester County, Pennsylvania as the Director of Emergency Services. The full measure of Edward J. Atkins is in the private arena. His love to us, his family, is where this magnificent life is measured.
Ed, you are the love of my life. I am forever grateful for the 19 years we had together and the thousands of happy moments we shared.
From the Writer to the Reader
Readers of the first Flash History biography, Eleanor Roosevelts Life of Soul Searching and Self Discovery, acknowledged the three core intentions I aimed to achieve as an author. Eleanors story inspired their own life choices and, as busy people, they appreciated a book to be read in a couple days, not a couple months. The more elusive point was also accomplished. The book stirred the readers interest to further their understanding of the other events and people connected with Eleanors story. This multi-dimensional impact continues to be the signature mark of Flash History. I am grateful to everyone who contacted me to give their insights. Your comments and encouragement are fuel for my writing fire. Thank you.
This biography, Golda Meir ~ True Grit, presents another unique story of a persons audacity and determination to insure a just society. Goldas success is not a one man show but involves a cast of characters each worthy of several books. It is my hope that you, the reader, will respond as you did with Eleanors story by expanding your understanding of the people and events with a Google search, a library visit or a bookstore purchase.
As I continue to explore cultures, one theme holds true. When everyday people stand by an internal pledge of allegiance to guarantee liberty and justice for all, their attitude can abrogate the power of extremists who market fear, hysteria and hate as facts. People of any nationality or religion can create a world of dignity and respect rather than discrimination and derision. For some, the decision to live each day with a noble purpose may put them on the world stage as it did for Malala Yousafzai, a Muslim girl standing up to the Taliban. For others, the decision to live this pledge will mean their life is cut short. The glory of their noble efforts are enshrouded at the bottom of a Mississippi swamp or enshrined at the Lincoln Memorial.
It just works like that.
