True World War II Stories Both Fascinating and Moving

I've read tons of World War II novels, but not too many true accounts. So, when I heard about Jerry Borrowman's new book, Invisible Heroes of World War II, I knew I wanted to read it. It's a slim volume and yet, the stories he recounts speak volumes about the bravery, dedication, and sacrifice exhibited by ordinary humans in an extraordinary time.

If you're interested in learning more about some of World War II's unsung heroes, definitely pick up this intriguing book. It's a quick read, but one that is both fascinating and moving. I enjoyed reading these untold stories, which made me marvel once again at the remarkable ability of human beings to survive and even thrive in the face of unimaginable cruelty and unspeakable horror. The people portrayed in Borrowman's book are truly heroes with incredible stories just waiting to be heard ...
(Readalikes: Reminds me of Women of the Blue & Grey by Marianne Monson)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for brief, mild language (no F-bombs), violence, and blood/gore
To the FTC, with love: I received an ARC of Invisible Heroes of World War II from the generous folks at Shadow Mountain in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
