What is Congressional Medal of Honor Recipients (Collective Biographies) about?

The recipients of this highest honor have been as diverse as the United States itself. Included among the ten heroes in this book are three from the Civil War: the first soldier to receive the honor; the first African American; and the first woman, a doctor. From World War I there is a pioneering flying ace, and from World War II, a navy skipper of a PT boat. A native American and Japanese American were both honored for courage in the Korean War, and a Hispanic American, for service in the Vietnam conflict. Two posthumous awards were given to soldiers for valor in Somalia. Their childhoods as well as their heroic action under fire are described. <p>Biographies of eleven recipients of America's highest military honor: Jacob Parrott, William Carney, Mary Edwards Walker, Eddie Rickenbacker, Alvin York, John Bulkeley, Mitchell Red Cloud, Hiroshi Miyamura, Jay Vargas, Gary Gordon, and Randall Shugart. </p>
