American Heroes: In the Fight Against Radical Islam (War Stories)
Prices subject to change.
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.

"Oliver North has spent his life among America’s heroes. This book with its moving words and powerful images will inspire patriots, reassure the faint of heart, and infuriate our nation’s adversaries. These are our heroes, they deserve to have their story told, and no one is better to tell it than Col. North, because when it comes to heroes, it takes one to know one. This book is a treasure."

- Awesome bookThank God for good men like Oliver North.I wish we could have more men in power with his faith and his understanding of our military's capabilities and purpose.I am also very thankful for the work being done in Iraq and Afganistan.It is not a finished work nor a perfect work, but it is certainly not a flawed effort as our news outlets lead us to believe.
Brining our troops home before they feel they are finished is not "supporting our troups."We need to let the military decide ... Read More
- ExcellentThis book is inspirational, informative, historical, compelling, and instills pride in our military.My husband is reading it now, and can't stop talking about how moving it is.I recommend it to anyone interested in hearing stories that won't be covered in the main-stream media.These are the types of stories we may have heard about during WWII, when America believed that pride in itself and its ideals -- the ideals for which we were fighting -- was merited.But you'll have to read this book to ...

Giving these brave men and women fair and honest coverage that earns them more respect than anyone on earth. Revealing the hard life of our soldiers out there making it each day without air conditioning, full course meals, and luxuries we take for granted. But they don't complain, they just do their job and much more. On top of that, ... Read More
- Not able to rate high enough.I have read a lot of military books before, but this one is by far the best one I have ever read.Although I have been out of the Marine Corps for a number of years I felt as though I was right there living it with the best of the best.A very powerful book, not recommended for faint of heart individuals.It is about time an actual first hand account be put out for the people to read, and get the truth about what has been happening over in country.
- American Heroes--an American secretAmerican Heroes: In the Fight Against Radical Islam (War Stories)Great care in presenting the real case of what is going on and how our troops react to the challenge...GREAT BOOK--
