Valor of Many Stripes: Remarkable Americans in World War II
Scott Baron
(Author)
Description
The award of a military decoration does not define valor--it only recognizes it. Many acts of notable courage and self-sacrifice occur on the battlefield but are often obscured in the fog of battle or lost to history, unrecognized and unheralded. The largely overlooked men and women in this volume did incredible things in dire circumstances. Although in some cases decorations were awarded--including several Medals of Honor--their stories remain unknown.

Reviews
"Baron offers a moving collection of lesser-known stories of valor during World War II. The stories Baron tells are motivating and awe-inspiring, replete with commitment to country, mission and fellow servicemen."--Association of the United States Army.
