Synopses & Reviews
More than 100 compelling, true stories of personal heroism and valor- in a special expanded edition honoring courage in the face of war
Here are dramatic accounts of the fearless actions that earned American soldiers in Vietnam our highest military distinction-the Medal of Honor. Edward F. Murphy, head of the Medal of Honor Historical Society, re-creates the heroic acts of individual soldiers from official documents, Medal of Honor citations, contemporary accounts, and, where possible, interviews with survivors.
Complete with a list of all Vietnam Medal of Honor recipients, this book offers a unique perspective on the war-from the early days of U.S. involvement through the return home of the last soldiers. It pays a fitting tribute to these patriotic, selfless souls.
