Great read

Lots of short stories of our service men. This is a book you can read in spurts or in one long marathon session.

A super good book

Heroes of WWII is a very interesting, full of unbelievable action about the Congressional Medal of Honor winners in WWII. This is one of the greatest books on WWII I have read. It was almost impossible to put this book down. After reading & enjoying this book so much, I actually bought another copy to sent to a relative to read. It is your own loss if you pass up a $ 6.50 book full of so much action. I would buy this book again, & even if it cost $ 30.00 !

Great Book

Very informative of the true sacrefice of our American Fighting Forces.

Heroes of WWII

This was a great book, you won`t be able to put it down! You will not believe what you are reading and some of the stories will tear at your heart strings. I don`t care how tough you are! If this doesn`t stir the patriotic ember in your soul, nothing will. In light of recent events with the World Trade Center this would be great reading for young and old alike. You will meet people in this book that will make you proud to be an american, and you will come to a greater understanding of what it means to be an american. I cannot say enough about or recommend highly enough what a great book this was. It was easy to read and once past the first chapter you wont want to put it down. ENJOY!

Excellent book about the Heroes of our Country during WWII

This is a must read for anyone interested in the Medal of Honor or those brave men who won it. The accounts of how a great many of these men won these medals are riviting. A complete list of all the men that received the Medal during WWII is included at that end of the book. In many cases the book lets you know what happened to those men who went home after the war. In many cases its a tragic end. The book also lets you know who survied the war to go home with their Medal. These are heroes we should know and teach our children about.
