Notes/Review |
Here we have the stories of eleven Medal of Honor recipients. These are not solely the stories of combat and bravery, but the stories of the people. How did these people arrive in the situation that resulted in their medals? What happened afterward? The eleven mini-biographies present the widest possible cross-section of medal recipients possible - Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam - and includes the one woman recipient. |
