The Congressional Medal of Honor is Americas highest military award. In such a amazing work, the first of its kind, acclaimed 60 Minutes reporter Mike Wallace talks about the lives of the recipients of the medal and explores what it is that drove them to go up to now far beyond the call of duty. Wallace examines not only their extraordinary feats in battle (plunging into heavy fire, throwing themselves on live grenades, attacking enemy regiments single-handed), but also their lives before and after. Through the entire book, and particularly in his moving introduction, he meditates on the meaning of courage and shows what we can learn from the lives of these who perform amazing acts of selflessness and bravery.
