A quick and insightful overview of just how diverse the stories of WWII participants were, including, as it does, women's stories as well as those of African Americans and Japanese Americans. There is also coverage of a group of airmen who went missing over British Columbia while transporting a combat aircraft, offering further proof of just how long the reach of the war can be. Unusual and compelling., World War II famously gave rise to human atrocities such as the Holocaust and the atomic bomb, but it also became a proving ground for heroes who refused to back down from the fight against evil. This title tells the stories of many of these brave soldiers and noncombatants. The first half shares stories of individuals from the war, two of which are previously untold. The second half focuses on often overlooked groups such as the Navajo code talkers and the Purple Heart Battalion. The short biographical sketches are well cited. Difficult topics such as torture and personal loss are approached with grace by neither glossing over nor overly examining the experiences. Each individual or group story includes background information, giving readers a chance to see what elements led up to their heroic acts and service during the conflict. A solid primer for those just learning about World War II, this collection also offers new stories that will interest even the most avid history buff.

Synopsis
10 Extraordinary True Stories from World War II of bravery, valor, and patriotism from everyday men and women who should never be forgotten. Pat Patton: Abandoned at Bataan, Nancy Wake: The White Mouse of the French Resistance, Joseph Hyalmar Anderson: Missing in Action, Joseph Medicine Crow: The Last War Chief, Dickey Chapelle: American Journalist, Navajo Code Talkers: Heroes of the Pacific, War The Purple Heart Battalion: Rescuing the Texas 1st, Combat Engineers: Builders and Soldiers, African Americans at War: Heroes Despite Prejudice, Rosie the Riveter: Women in the War Industries Book jacket., Invisible Heroes of World War II documents ten fascinating true stories of a diverse group of soldiers and noncombatants from all over the world, including African Americans, women, and Native Americans, who fought with the Allies during World War II. These heroes made significant contributions in the war effort, and sometimes gave their lives for freedom and liberty, often without much recognition or fanfare. Some were frontline soldiers who were captured by the enemy and endured horrific conditions as POWs, others were ordinary citizens who fought in the French Resistance and provided vital operations to undermine Nazi occupation, while others were engineers, workers in industry, or war correspondents and photographers. All served with valor and distinction as part of the massive Allied forces who fought to free the world from tyranny and oppression.
