Publisher's Summary
In the heat of battle, you see it....
Two grenades landing at the feet of your fellow Marines.
There’s no time to think.
In a blink, you’re on top of both of them to save others.
Your time on earth is surely over....
Or is it?
This is just a snapshot of the many heroes whose stories are collected in this book.
Men who go above and beyond the call of duty, and somehow manage the impossible.
In this book, you will discover:
- One soldier who exchanged his rifle for a shovel to save his comrades
- A man, against all odds, who went head to head against three tanks
- A dentist who did more for his country than pull teeth
- Soldiers who fought two fronts during the war (an aggressive enemy on the battle and racial discrimination everywhere else)
- A cook who single-handedly defended a town against a hoard of enemy troops and tanks.
- Interesting facts about each hero and their lives.
- And much more.
Each hero is vividly depicted to truly bring their stories to life, whether they fought during Pearl Harbor, in the European Theatre, or the Pacific Campaign.
Also included in the book are interesting facts about the war, including:
- An iconic company that literally set up shop overseas to get their beloved products into the hands of the soldiers fighting on the front line
- A special weapon made by the Japanese that actually managed to strike American soil well after the attack on Pearl Harbor (which hardly anyone knows about).
- The famous American whose picture was framed on Hitler’s desk
- The secret spy ring that was headquartered way too close to home
- And plenty more.
You will discover how some of these heroes pulled off the impossible, accomplished more than entire squadrons could manage, and others who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Buy your copy now.
