Product Description
In American Heroes, New York Times bestselling author 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.
American Heroes offers a close-up of this generation’s “citizen-soldiers” 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.
“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 too often presented, 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 children get safely to school. No nation - ours included - has ever had a military force better than the one we have today.” - Oliver North

I've read several books about the War in Iraq for research projects and papers. American Heroes is by far the most clear and interesting one yet. It explains every military term, event, treaty, etc. clearly and fully. It's very informative and well written. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to understand the events leading up to the War in Iraq and the events during.

Reading American Heroes reminds me of why I'm proud to be an American. Oliver North provides an objective, journalistic review of what it takes to keep America free...sacrifice. Every one of these brave young men and women described, and even the ones that aren't, are Real American Heroes. Bravo Colonel for telling us (and showing us with these incredible photos) the truth about the Iraq War !
OLIVER NORTH This is" THE BEST OF THE BEST " April 20, 2008

Oliver North always brings us to the FRONT LINES. He is ,"THE BEST." I am so glad he writes these books. This is a MUST READ! OR a MUST HAVE for COLLECTORS.
As always he always tells it as it is. AMERICAN HEROES reminds us of our troops, how they GIVE SO MUCH and what makes them our HEROES. Their lives are put on the line for us every second of everyday. While "SOME PEOPLE waste their luxurious FREEDOM", fighting with hate filled words and arguing over such petty things. We should wake up every morning thanking these Heroes that we are safe and free because of our heroes. Think about for that moment what our HEROES open their eyes to.
OLIVER NORTH so definely tells of us of our HEROES. Everyone must read this book Democrats, Republicans, LEFT, RIGHT, MIDDLE, rich or poor. This book is about our HEROES "NOT POLITICS" and everyday when we open our eyes THANK our HEROES and PRAY for them. Thank You Colonel North for another GREAT BOOK!

I am so pleased to see this wonderful book about the great work our men and women in arms are doing for our country. The news has been so overwhelmingly negative and untruthful it makes my heart sick. Thank you for writing such a compelling book that tells the truth about the enemy we face and the heroes who represent us!
