What
is a Hero? New York Times best-selling author Oliver North says, “Real
heroes are selfless. Those who serve America in harm’s way in the war
against radical Islam have that quality in abundance. And so do their
families and loved ones at home. Yet, they rarely get the attention or
coverage they deserve. “Despite
the way they are presented by too many in the press and politics, the
men and women in uniform today are overwhelmingly good. I never
cease to be amazed at the self-discipline of these brave young
Americans. They can endure the adrenaline-pumping violence of an enemy
engagement, and then, just minutes later, help school children get
safely to their classes . . . No nation—ours included—has ever had a
military force better than the one we have today. I’m proud of them.
You should be too.”
In American Heroes
(a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post best
seller), North offers an inspiring, first-hand account of the
extraordinary men and women defending America against radical Islamic
terror from his perspective as a forty year member of the United States
military, a member of the National Security Council staff and serving
as the U.S. government’s counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983-1986.
This patriotic book also pulls in new reports and exclusive full-color
photographs from War Stories, the award-winning FOX News Channel series hosted by North.
