Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果你曾經受到蘭迪．鮑許教授當年《最後的演講》所感動
這本書將一樣是撼動人心
2012年美國陸軍建軍237周年慶的其中一場演講，不少人都深受啟發感動，有如當年蘭迪．鮑許教授《最後的演講》一樣撼動人心，於是網路上開始有人形容這場演說是「陸軍版本的最後的演講」。
去年這場演說是由美國陸軍中校馬克韋伯(Mark Weber)所發表，而後他將演說改寫了《Tell My Sons》，由美國影星羅賓威廉斯(Robin Williams) 撰寫推薦序，這本書目的是為了留給他的三個孩子，來引領他們面臨往後人生，但沒想到他書中積極樂觀的想法也影響到許多人的人生態度。
馬克韋伯23年的軍旅生涯，對國家的奉獻被眾人肯定，但兩年前卻診斷出第四期大腸癌，雖然馬克之後被預估可能只剩下短短4個月的生命，但是他的態度、價值觀令我們所有人值得學習。
《最後14堂星期二的課》的作者米奇‧艾爾邦更讚譽他的故事留下最深刻的感動。馬克韋伯令人動容的真實故事、勇敢堅毅且鼓舞人心。每一篇文章的背後表現出過人勇氣、誠實和不屈不撓的精神。
這本書早在去年12月由馬克韋伯自費出版，創下8000本的銷售佳績，如今他的故事即將由藍燈書屋於今年6月出版精裝本。他不僅是要將此書獻給他的三個孩子，還要告訴所有人如何活出一個正直有勇氣的人生。
