For Valour: Victoria Cross and Medal of Honor Battles

by Bryan Perrett

Overview

Bryan Perrett, whose true stories of wartime courage have proved highly popular, returns with 32 more historic tales of heroism and ultimate sacrifice. The thrilling and often tragic accounts take place on land, sea, and air, and introduce brave British, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, South African winners of the Victoria Cross, and U.S. winners of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Whether at the Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War, the Battle of Gettysburg, the bloodbath at Gallipoli, or the furious fighting at the Somme, every warrior here is a true hero.
