Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

13 heroes--forgotten by time. These men changed the course of history with their valor and larger-than-life actions, yet few today remember their triumphs. Some were honorable, others not, but their contemporaries regarded them with pride. Most were professional soldiers, like Lieutenant Walter Hamilton, who fought the Kabul mob to the death and took 600 of the enemy with him. Another, Major General Lew Wallace, though primarily a lawyer and politician, commanded a division at the Battle of Shiloh; today most people know him as the author of Ben Hur.Written by a best-selling author of military history, every true story has as much excitement and wartime thrills as any work of fiction.
