When Duty Calls
The face of war is rapidly changing, calling America's soldiers into hellish regions where conventional warriors dare not go. From the Mekong to the U-Minh forest, this is the world of the SEALs -- an unparallelled fighting force trained in every aspect of survival, infiltration and silent death, rising like a Pheonix from the glorius flames of the Navy's crack Underwater Demolition Team. But Vietnam is a virulent new strain of jungle conflict -- where enemy and ally can be the same . . . where lives and lies are merely disposable pieces in unscrupulous political games. Yet the SEALs know that this is a war that can be won -- if they are allowed to fight it their way.

"We Americans have gone off to war in a spirit of optimism that had little to do with the reality we would soon have to face." --Mike Wallace
Medal of Honor portrays 11 recipients of this sacred U.S. military decoration, from the Civil War through the Vietnam War, and examines what drove them to go so far above and beyond the call of duty. Among the stories is an account of the life of the only woman ever to receive the medal; of an officer who staged a daring escape from a German POW camp in WWI; and of a soldier from the legendary WWII Japanese-American 442nd, who went on to earn the medal in the Korean War. The book tells not only of astonishing military actions but also, significantly, of the recipients' lives before and after their wartime experiences.
In his moving commentary, acclaimed 60 Minutes reporter Mike Wallace places these actions in historical context and relates his own personal experiences in WWII and as a journalist covering recent wars. He also meditates on the meaning of courage and shows what we can all learn from these extraordinary individuals.
"The President may award, and present in the name of Congress, a medal of honor of appropriate design, with ribbons and appurtenances, to a person who, while a member of the Army, Navy, or Air Force distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty." --The United States Congress
