Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post best seller, now available with a new chapter on events in Afghanistan plus an exclusive online access code for three downloadable episodes of War Stories!

What is a hero? Oliver North says, “Real heroes are selfless. Those who serve America in harm’s way in the war against radical Islam have that quality in abundance. And so do their families and loved ones at home. Yet, they rarely get the attention or coverage they deserve . . . I never cease to be amazed at the self-discipline of these brave young Americans. They can endure the adrenaline-pumping violence of enemy engagement, and then, just minutes later, help school children get safely to their classes . . . No nation—ours included—has ever had a military force better than the one we have today.”

In American Heroes, North offers an inspiring, first-hand account of the extraordinary men and women defending America against radical Islamic terror from his perspective as a forty year member of the United States military, a member of the National Security Council staff and serving as the U.S. counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983-1986. This patriotic book also pulls in the very latest reports and exclusive full-color photographs from War Stories, the award-winning FOX News Channel series hosted by North.



About the Author

He was later assigned to the National Security Council staff by former President Ronald Reagan, who called North “an American hero.” Today, he is a best-selling author, syndicated columnist, and host of the award-winning War Stories series on the FOX News Channel. North has four children, eight grandchildren, and lives with his wife in Virginia.

Chuck Holton is a U.S. military veteran and now travels the world as Adventure Correspondent for the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN).

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, Informative, and very interesting, May 4, 2008
By Larry C. Catlett (Nashville, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read several books about the War in Iraq for research projects and papers. American Heroes is by far the most clear and interesting one yet. It explains every military term, event, treaty, etc. clearly and fully. It's very informative and well written. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to understand the events leading up to the War in Iraq and the events during.

5.0 out of 5 stars OLIVER NORTH This is" THE BEST OF THE BEST ", April 20, 2008
By D. Gilman "History BUFF" (Plattsburgh, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Oliver North always brings us to the FRONT LINES. He is ,"THE BEST." I am so glad he writes these books. This is a MUST READ! OR a MUST HAVE for COLLECTORS.
As always he always tells it as it is. AMERICAN HEROES reminds us of our troops, how they GIVE SO MUCH and what makes them our HEROES. Their lives are put on the line for us every second of everyday. While "SOME PEOPLE waste their luxurious FREEDOM", fighting with hate filled words and arguing over such petty things. We should wake up every morning thanking these Heroes that we are safe and free because of our heroes. Think about for that moment what our HEROES open their eyes to.
OLIVER NORTH so definely tells of us of our HEROES. Everyone must read this book Democrats, Republicans, LEFT, RIGHT, MIDDLE, rich or poor. This book is about our HEROES "NOT POLITICS" and everyday when we open our eyes THANK our HEROES and PRAY for them. Thank You Colonel North for another GREAT BOOK!
