A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post best seller, updated
and expanded with a new chapter on events in Afghanistan and an exclusive
access code linking to three customized online episodes of War Stories!
In American Heroes, Oliver North offers an inspiring, first-hand account of
the extraordinary young American volunteers defending us against radical
Islamic terror. Since 9-11-01, North and his award-winning War Stories
documentary team have made a dozen extended trips to Afghanistan, Iraq
and the Philippines covering U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen and
Marines for FOX News Channel. With extensive experience as a decorated
military officer, a counter-terrorism expert and as a documentary filmmaker
embedded with American combat units, he has a unique perspective on the
enemy we face and the qualities of those who protect us.
Illuminated by more than 300 full-color images, American Heroes offers
a close-up of this generation’s “citizen-solders” who have chosen the path of
the patriot and gone into harm’s way for their countrymen. North’s
unprecedented access, his grasp of history and his lucid reports from the
crucible of combat make this a stirring chronicle of courage, commitment,
compassion, and faith. Thank God for American heroes.
