Review:

"One of the most important books yet written about the War on Terror. Heart-pounding action filled with humanity and hope."--Sean Hannity on "Home of the Brave" ""Home of the Brave" stirs the deepest parts of the American spirit. An inspirational portrait of ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things."---W. E. B. Griffin, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Hostage" "Caspar Weinberger's leadership in rebuilding America's strength to win the Cold War was marked throughout by a fixation on the individual servicemen---not just to arm them, but inspire them, support them, and listen to them. This thrilling book is another of his valuable contributions to honor those heroic men and women."---John F. Lehman, former secretary of the navy and member of the 9/11 Commission on "Home of the Brave" ""Home""of the Brave" tells Americans stories they need to know about the men who are defending our freedom and security. It will leave you breathless at times---and hopeful about our future."---Thomas Fleming, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Washington's Secret War: The Hidden History of Valley Forge" "Riveting sagas of extraordinary heroism in combat by members of our armed forces during one of the most difficult, frustrating, and critical conflicts in our history. A must- read for all Americans who care about the future." ---General P. X. Kelley, USMC (Ret.), 28th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps on "Home of the Brave"
