Product Description
What is a Hero? New York Times best-selling author Oliver North says, "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 presented by too many in the press and politics, 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 school children get safely to their classes . . . No nation---ours included---has ever had a military force better than the one we have today. I'm proud of them. You should be too."
In American Heroes (a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post best seller), North offers an inspiring, first-hand account of the extraordinary men and women defending America against radical Islamic terror from his perspective as a forty year member of the United States military, a member of the National Security Council staff and serving as the U.S. government's counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983-1986. This patriotic book also pulls in new reports and exclusive full-color photographs from War Stories, the award-winning FOX News Channel series hosted by North. Endorsements "Oliver North has spent his life among America's heroes. This book with its moving words and powerful images will inspire patriots, reassure the faint of heart, and infuriate our nation's adversaries. These are our heroes, they deserve to have their story told, and no one is better to tell it than Col. North, because when it comes to heroes, it takes one to know one. This book is a treasure." ---Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and New York Times bestselling author of Real Change "Ollie North has 'been there---done that' with the American heroes who are winning the war against radical Islamic terror. This book is a magnificent tribute to the warriors who defend us all." ---Sean Hannity, host of The Sean Hannity Show and FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes

| "A Hero isn't something you are, it's something you do." This book is a must read for anyone who really cares about the men and women in our armed forces. It is a page turner. | | |  | Jingoist Dribble May 29, 2009 |
This book can basically be summed up by saying that everything the U.S. has done has been honorable. When the U.S. overthrows democratically elected governments and installs brutal dictators like it did in Chile and Iran for the benefit of U.S. investors and corporations, it is here stated as a grand sacrifice to protect American interests, freedom, and our way of life.
Oliver North was involved in Iran-Contra which was the illegal funding of a terrorist organization controlled by Washington to overthrow democracy in Nicaragua using money from the sale of missiles to Iran. Mr. North will now have you believe that the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are noble and about freedom. That the people of America would not have freedom if U.S. soldiers were not invading the middle east. Iraq meanwhile has been turned into a basket case of a country with tribalism, warlordism, and sectarianism. Violence is down lately yes but simply because there is no one left to kill in large areas of the country now filled with mass graves. The U.S. has built huge military bases and the largest Embassy in the world with plans to stay indefinitely to control and oversee the regions vast oil reserves. The Iraq government is currently trying to negotiate for a 2011 U.S. withdrawal with a reluctant America even though poll after poll shows that a large majority of Iraqi's oppose a U.S. military presence, and believe that US forces make the situation worse, including the "surge." But their opinion doesn't count right?
This book is basically for the uninformed who want to believe in a greater good. An American "Exceptionalism", if you will, of imperial doctrine not unlike the beliefs of former imperial Britain, France, Japan, Germany, ect. They said the same things about their noble and heroic efforts to change the world. This is utter garbage. One star because I couldn't give it zero! | | | | The heroes of our nation Mar 1, 2009 |
| Oliver North's writing makes you feel like you are with him---with our Soldiers and Marines. You can sense his heart breaking for those families who pay the ultimate sacrifice for our nation---giving their young people's lives. Truly a book that needs to be read by all Americans! | | | | Awesome book Aug 27, 2008 |
Thank God for good men like Oliver North. I wish we could have more men in power with his faith and his understanding of our military's capabilities and purpose. I am also very thankful for the work being done in Iraq and Afganistan. It is not a finished work nor a perfect work, but it is certainly not a flawed effort as our news outlets lead us to believe.
Brining our troops home before they feel they are finished is not "supporting our troups." We need to let the military decide when it is time to come home and stop letting our brilliant politcians and reporters use their deployment as a political leveraging issue.
I really enjoyed this book and it truly displays the unique mindset and committment that our service men and women possses. If we could have an entire nation of men and women like the ones that fill our armed forces, we could achieve so much more. | | | | Excellent Aug 11, 2008 |
| This book is inspirational, informative, historical, compelling, and instills pride in our military. My husband is reading it now, and can't stop talking about how moving it is. I recommend it to anyone interested in hearing stories that won't be covered in the main-stream media. These are the types of stories we may have heard about during WWII, when America believed that pride in itself and its ideals -- the ideals for which we were fighting -- was merited. But you'll have to read this book to hear about these heroes today. The alphabet networks won't tell you, and the big newspapers won't tell you, because it is no longer politically correct to feel good about our country or the people who defend it. | | | Write your own review about American Heroes: In the Fight Against Radical Islam (War Stories)
