Summary: A good book but on only a few
Comment: I orginally purchased this book thinking it covered all medal of honors winners. To my disappointment, it details only a very few. This book covers only a select few of the medal of honor winners who's life story could be told. Of the men mentioned in the book, it is interesting. It talks about their childhood, what they did in the service, and what they did once out of the service. If you are looking for a little different angle on a few medal of honor winners, then this is your book. If you desire information on all of the medal of honor winners then look elsewhere.

Summary: Stories of only a handful
Comment: When I orginally purchased this book, I was excited thinking this book covered every one of the medal of honor winners "From the civil war to the present". To my suprise, it only covered the men who earned this medal if there was enough information about there whole life. Of the few who's stories are in the book, it was interesting and surprising to read how there childhood, military, and post military (if they survived) life was. Also in the book, the author did mention some of the names of other award winners if they were present during the same battle. Over all I was disappointed with buying this book. If you are looking for a book on medal of honor winners that have there whole life story, and only a few at that, this book may interest you. My suggestion is to either read it at a library, or wait til the price is $$$$!! I would not buy this book again; I will not read this book again!! If you are looking for WWII medal of honor winners a really super good book is " Heroes of WWII" by Edward F. Murphy
Rating: 2
Summary: Not about Medal of Honor
Comment: This book isn't really about the Medal of Honor. It is a treatise on how the medal of Honor impacted the lives of a small number of those awarded. The choice of personal histories that have been included seems slanted to emphasize the negative. One really needs to distinguish betwen the MOH event and the personal histories of the men who received them. This book professes one thing while providing the other. Also, Mike Wallace's contribution seems irrelevant, unnecessary, and perhaps detracts from the book. Why was he even included? There are some interesting things here, but you need to prepare yourself to be disappointed a bit by the commentary and choice of MOH content.
