Historie

What causes a soldier to make the split second to decision to jump on a grenade and sacrifice his life to save his men?

What drives a man to go from homeless to the recipient of the military's highest commendation, The Medal of Honor?

How does a prisoner of war survive years of unspeakable torture and deprivation and yet never give up hope?

A vivid collection of stories spanning multiple wars and military branches chosen by military enthusiasts from around the world. These compelling accounts of heroism and sacrifice depict the raw and brutal realities of war, without a shred of sentimentality or false patriotism.

Included are some names you might already know, like Pappy, Mad-Dog, Bong, Benavidez, and Hathcock, along with others you should know, like Pitsenbarger and Poolaw.

Veteran police detective and bestselling author, David A. Yuzuk, brings you this gripping collection of spectacular battle stories and trial-by-fire lessons of honor and duty from WWII to Iraq, all in one action-packed volume.
