A bracing bestseller goes book to battlefield with the Greatest Generation.

Written by Jenn Thornton

Famous for portraying American soldiers, John Wayne was unfailingly candid about his genuine affection for the country’s armed forces. His brand of patriotism is the protagonist of this magnificent, fast-moving new book about ordinary American GIs asked to do the extraordinary for America’s harrowing military campaign in the Pacific theater during WWII. This is a book that goes to the heart of what true sacrifice means, and explores what too frequently it demands from our fighters and their families—a cost detailed to a poignant degree. We must never forget and with a book like Unknown Valor, we won’t.
