COMPASSIONATE SOLDIER, by Jerry Borrowman

The story: Medals are frequently given to those who display unusual valor on the battlefield, and frequently those who demonstrate their bravery by showing compassion go unrecognized. In this book, the author discusses various people who, throughout history, sacrificed to do the right thing--and occasionally paid for it with their lives. From nurses to WWI air aces, the people in this book, and their true stories, just might surprise you.

Liz's comments: Better for HS and up.
