"In their own words, the personal stories of America's World War II veterans."
Includes bibliographical references (pages 348-357) and index.
"Beyond Valor is the first combat history of the war in Europe in the words of the men themselves, and perhaps the most honest and brutal account of combat possible on the printed page. For more than fifty years the individual stories that make up this narrative - shockingly frank reflections of sacrifice and courage - have been bottled up, buried, or circulated privately. Now, nearing the ends of their lives, our WWII soldiers have at last unburdened themselves.".
"Beyond Valor recaptures their hidden history. A pioneering oral historian, Patrick O'Donnell used his website, The Drop Zone, to solicit oral- and "e-histories" from individual soldiers. Gradually, working from within the community, O'Donnell convinced some of the war's most battle-hardened soldiers to tell their stories. The result is WWII seen through the eyes of the men who saw the most intense of its action.
O'Donnell focuses on the elite units of the war - the Rangers, Airborne, and 1st Special Service Forces - troops that spearheaded the most dangerous operations and often made the difference between victory and defeat."--BOOK JACKET.
