This New York Times best-selling account of battlefield courage
celebrates the larger-than-life sacrifices of those awarded the nation's
highest honor for valor in combat. Exclusive interviews with these
twenty-four men--firsthand accounts of battlefield sacrifice from the
greatest generation to Vietnam, along with before-and-after
stories--form the core of this classic work. The recipients, as
portrayed here, represent a cross-section as diverse as America
itself--officers and enlisted men; African Americans, Hispanics, and
Caucasians; men who went on to become famous (Daniel Inouye, James
Stockdale, Bob Kerrey) and others who returned proudly to small towns.
Beyond Glory, in the voices of these heroes, is a testament to the
courage of the American nation.
