Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I found the early section that talked about the history of the Medal of Honor (how it came to be, the changes that occurred in how it was awarded etc.) quite interesting. I also found the first profile, of a female physician during the Civil war, interesting. For each of the wars recounted, two to three Medal of Honor winners were profiled. The author attempted to find winners who weren't necessarily widely known and who had compelling stories. ( )
This absorbing set of accounts should appeal to military history enthusiasts and anyone interested in the heroic exploits of ordinary Americans. Distinctions
Profiles of ten exceptional men and one woman who have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor delve into the lives of these heroes who went above and beyond the call of duty, contemplating the true meaning of courage. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
