American Heroes

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

‘Life has no meaning unless it’s lived for the benefit of future generations’


Crafted from original interviews, American Heroes tells the vivid, authentic stories of the veterans who give themselves – and even their lives – serving in overseas conflict from World War Two to Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Outnumbered, under pressure and under fire, these men and women exhibited extraordinary selflessness, camaraderie and patriotism. For their service and sacrifice, they earned the US military’s highest awards for valour.

In this powerful collection of never-before-told stories, James Patterson and First Sergeant U.S. Army (Ret.) Matt Eversmann salute America’s most courageous military heroes.
