Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
From Bull Run to Mogadishu, "American Valor" takes a moving and compelling look--through newsreel footage, photographs and interviews with recipients and the comrades who witnessed their heroic acts--at America's heroes whose actions have earned them the country's highest military recognition, the Medal of Honor. To date, the Medal of Honor has been bestowed upon 3,440 individuals, only one woman among them--a Civil War doctor. It took nearly 60 years for 29 African American and Asian American soldiers to be recognized for their heroic actions in World War II. These heroes were finally honored, many posthumously, at ceremonies at the White House in 1997 and 2000. Two of the recipients, Vernon Baker and George Sakato, are featured in "American Valor."
