True stories of the men who earned our nation's highest award, the Congressional Medal of Honor.
They fought and died that we might be free. Of the 13 million who served during WWII, only 433 received our country's highest award for valor-and only 190 of those brave men survived to receive their medals. This book vividly chronicles their almost superhuman feats of selfless courage. We witness the climatic moments and brave deeds that made history in WWII: the bombing of Pearl Harbor, where fifteen men earned the medal; the vicious, desparate fighting in the Pacific Islands; the invasion on the beaches of Normandy, and other crucial battles in the European theater, as the history of WWII unfolds in the heroic deeds of the men who won the war.
