5.0 out of 5 stars
Medal of Honor Winners, September 15, 2007
This review is from: Medal of Honor Recipients 1863-1994: 2 Volume Set (Hardcover)
This set of two books lists the written commendation from the commander in the field for each man earning the Medal of Honor from the Civil War to 1994.
This sounds pretty dull, perhaps, but try reading several of these without feeling your heart pound. We've had some awesome heroes in America and will have many more. These brief stories of some of them are absolutely incredible.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent compilation., June 22, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Medal of Honor Recipients 1863-1994: 2 Volume Set (Hardcover)
All 3397 Medal of Honor recipients are listed, from
the Civil War to Somalia, with all essential
information given: name, both true and assumed, rank,
service and unit, dates of birth and death, place of death
and cemetary, date and place of action, and more.
Attractively presented in large format, in two
volumes, with appendices, bibliography, and index,
this is the essential reference for
anyone interested in the Medal of Honor or American military
history. Illustrations of the medals themselves
are not provided, the only fault noted.
