About The Epic Book Of World War II Heroes: 27 Fearless
Give our war survivors the reward they appreciate the most: hear their stories. With an estimated 18.8 million war veterans living in the United States, you have a 1 in 15 chance of meeting a veteran without even knowing it. But as time goes on, we have fewer and fewer World War II veterans left to share their experiences. How high are your chances of hearing their heroic stories? How likely are you to learn the profound details of their experiences? As the population of World War II veterans among us decreases, the best way to honor them is to take time and listen to their stories. Have you heard of Doris “Dorie” Miller, who started as a laundry boy and ended up having his face on the recruitment poster for the Navy (while becoming the first African-American to be awarded the Navy Cross in 1942)? Or the story of Robert B. Nett, who won the final battle in reclaiming the Philippines for the US as a lieutenant -- while surviving two near-fatal wounds and meeting his wife-to-be, an army nurse? Every man who served in the US army during World War II has a story to tell. Lives were made and lost with a generation serving in the battalions. World War II is a chapter in history that is filled with a thick web of American trivia, untold stories of dedicated men. Duty, love, and hard choices. Self-sacrifice, uncalculated risks, and mad deceptions. In this book you’ll meet heroes of Pearl Harbor, as well as heroic deeds in the Pacific and European Theaters. Every single person in this book played a key role in earning a victory for the Allied Forces… and some of them have escaped the history books. Let’s begin honoring those who volunteered their lives, one page at a time... Here’s just a fraction of what you will discover in The Epic Book of World War II Heroes: Unique war stories, perfectly sized to fit into your coffee break -- and on the coffee table! 5+ accidental advancements made during WWII that you now see in every-day life An easy-to-read narrative with everyday language, uncovering the character behind every hero’s name Untold trivia for every WWII hero to please even the most well-read history buffs 4 surprising pieces of war trivia that seem too wacky to be true (yet they are!) Thought-provoking illustrations that perfectly match the stories, immersing you so completely that you’ll feel as though you’re really there More than 25 true stories of US military heroes… each deserving a Hollywood movie of its own And much more. Not enough American History trivia for you? As a bonus, you get a concise collection of even more film-like stories that are just too crazy to fit in one book! Maybe you’re thinking, “Why would I buy another history book? I did all that at high-school!” But this isn’t a textbook. Don’t worry about multi-page chapters, or stories filled with boring dates and other complicated details. The chapters are just long enough for your coffee break. You can simply sit back and enjoy the juicy part of the stories… in plain words. There are books out there that strive for a holistic perspective of this War... and some of them do a good job. But what historians and academics often lose is the real spirit of storytelling. This book will get you reading archive-level stories from World War II… but you’ll devour the content at double tempo! There are too many inspiring, human stories of war veterans gathering dust in unread archives. They deserve to be brought to life.
