This is the portrait book that chronicles the living recipients of the highest military decoration for valor—the Medal of Honor. Celebrating the soldiers who demonstrate “intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty,” the book devotes an entire two-page spread to each of the 156 honorees, complete with a current, full page portrait, his original armed forces picture, and details of his heroic gallantry. The text explains each soldier’s motivation for entering the Armed Forces and the path their lives took after their service. Essays written by Tom Brokaw and John McCain capture the courage and character that is symbolized by the Medal of Honor. With a foreword by Bradley Cooper. 290 black-and-white photographs; hardbound 368 pages. 10" H x 111/4" W. (51/4 lbs.)
