Combat-decorated Marine Oliver North delivers a riveting
firsthand account of the extraordinary young American
volunteers—the best and bravest of their generation—who
stepped forward to defend us from radical Islamic terror.
For more than a dozen years North and his award-winning
documentary team from FOX News Channel’s War Stories
have traveled to the frontlines of the War on Terror to
profile the dedicated men and women who serve our nation in
harm’s way and chronicle what it truly means to be a hero.
This time, he follows them from the battlefield to the
homefront and finds extraordinary inspiration in their
triumph over life-altering adversity. In this new
volume of his New York Times bestselling American
Heroes series, North describes in vivid detail the
breathtaking courage, steadfast commitment, and resilient
strength of those who serve—and those who love them. The
term “selfless devotion” may be a cliché to many in our
modern culture—but not to the men and women on the pages of
this book. Their stories resound with bravery, a warrior
ethos, and spiritual strength that ought to encourage us
all. Heroes are people who knowingly place
themselves at risk for the benefit of others. They give of
themselves, literally and physically. Since the terror
attack of 9-11- 01, more than 2 million young Americans have
volunteered to serve in difficult and dangerous places. No
military force in history has been asked to do more than
those who have served and sacrificed in this long fight.
They are American heroes. So too are their loved ones here
at home. These are their stories.
