Synopses & Reviews
The book is for anyone interested in military history. It covers a lot of the great leaders of our country and it shows why the United States is independent today. Our country pays great gratitude to these men and this book shows why each and every one of them deserved the honor they received. Captivating for everyone, from the history buff to the simply quizzical individual.
