World War II gave rise to some of history's most gripping stories of courage and heroism. Some of the rescues recounted in this book involve "the greatest generation"—the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who risked all for their brothers and sisters in arms. Others concern civilians who hid Jews in their homes or helped Allied soldiers trapped behind enemy lines. Common to all are the deep reserves of courage and humanity that led ordinary men and women to risk, and even sacrifice, their lives in order to rescue those in mortal danger. Illustrated with captivating photographs, Great Rescues of World War II is a beautifully presented and inspirational testament to bravery and human kindness.
