Description

Instant #1 National Bestseller!

Praised as “an extraordinary work that deepens our understanding of the courage and dedication of American service members, American Heroes is an essential read for every citizen,” according to the Association of the United States Army.

From the bestselling authors of Walk in My Combat Boots, American Heroes offers powerful firsthand narratives depicting the remarkable bravery of America’s military personnel. Acclaimed author Jack Carr (author of the bestselling Terminal List series) calls it “a gripping collection capturing the unbreakable spirit of America’s greatest men and women.”

In this compelling collection, American soldiers who served in conflicts overseas—including World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan—share vivid personal stories of the deeds that earned them some of the nation’s highest military honors, including the Medal of Honor. These heroes stood shoulder to shoulder, driven not by personal accolades but by their devotion to comradeship, duty, and country.

Now, more than ever, is the right moment for Americans everywhere to reflect on what duty, sacrifice, and patriotism truly mean—and what it takes to become an American hero.
