Supreme Courage: Heroic Stories from 150 Years of the VC (Hardcover).

These tales of military valour come alive thanks, in no small part, to the fact that they are told by one of Britain's most distinguished soldiers. The Victoria Cross is no ordinary award and it was only bestowed on soldiers who showed supreme courage. How the Cross was won, and who won the Cross, is narrated in tough and captivating text which brings the action to the reader and underlines remarkable courage shown in terrifying situations. There are examples drawn from the Indian Mutiny, the Boer War and both world wars and British troops, Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, Indians and Nepalese all contribute to the wealth of eyewitness battlefield accounts. All the narratives are linked by a common thread of uncommon valour which defies the imagination, making this book far more than a history of a medal. It is a lasting tribute to exemplary valour.
