Highest Duty by Chesley B. Sullenberger, Jeffrey Zaslow (2009, Hardcover)

It's a straightforward, clear telling of the life experiences and lessons which enabled Sully to pull off the emergency landing in the Hudson River. The central theme is that hard work, training, education and experience can become a lifestyle of preparedness. The story is inspiring precisely because it makes excellence seem obtainable to anyone willing to pay the price. The telling is understated and matter of fact, an approach which appropriately reflects the levelheadedness of the author. It's a remarkable account.
