Press Quotes
An overview of the various medals awarded for heroism by all branches of the Armed Forces, The Medals of World War II opens with the interesting fact that the medals were not actually given out until after the war had ended, because brass was needed for the war effort during the years of conflict. Each of the medals is meticulously described--the design, the colors, the ribbons--while interviews with retired personnel who received the various medals add a human touch. Although a video that covered all military medals issued by the United States during all of its military campaigns would be of value, this particular title does honor the men and women who served during World War II and received recognition for their courageous participation. Recommended especially for military libraries, but also for larger public and college libraries.
