America's War Heroes

These stories are full of the kind of heros we want our kids to look up to. An interesting book, full of facts and information that were easily read by my 12 year old son.

My 9-year-old loves this series and has enjoyed delving deeper into the stories of these war heroes. I would highly suggest these books.

We love the entire series. There were many in this one that we the parents didn't know a lot about. We read as a read aloud to your kids at night. Engaging. Not too long or short. My 7 year old enjoys reading these on his own as well.

We love What A Character! These books are jam packed with great pictures, and engaging story telling. From animals to spies, Master Books out did themselves with this series, and what's more is there is audio!!!

This is a great addition to add on with your SS lessons for the student and teacher. We really enjoy having this for additional info on our subjects for several grade levels

Some of our kids are natural bookworms; others need a little more encouragement to read.

I know a book must be exceptionally interesting if I catch them completely engrossed in the story of their own accord.

Such was the case with Marilyn Boyer's new book, "America's War Heroes," and our 12 year old son, who ate it up the second it arrived in the mail.

Although the layout of the book looks somewhat textbookish, with vocabulary words and definitions denoted in the margins, the biographical sketches themselves read very much like a living book, intertwining fact and narrative to draw the reader into the story.

My personal favorite story was of Sergeant Jacob Deshazer, who, once with a goal of taking revenge upon the Japanese for the attacks on Pearl Harbor, wound up captured and tortured beyond anything we could ever imagine, and then, by a miracle of grace, returned to the place of his imprisonment with a new heart, love and forgiveness for the people he once hated, and witnessed the salvation of his former prison guards.

These are the kind of lives I want our children to be acquainted with and aspire to.

Ten such stories featuring influential, visionary men of character (Ethan Allen, Daniel Morgan, Francis Marion, John Paul Jones, Stephen Decatur, David Farragut, John Mosby, Sergeant York, Jake Deshazer, and Desmond Doss) are included in America's War Heroes.

I'd highly recommend Marilyn Boyer's new book for boys aged 9 and up, especially hesitant readers, or as an aid in the study of American History.

This book is a fantastic way to introduce your kids to people in history. It is so important to learn about the men who fought so hard for our freedom. There are 5 wars that have a quick description at the beginning of each section. Each person in this book has a short & easy to read story about their part in the war. Any words that might be a challenge to young readers are defined right on the page. The illustrations are fun & help kids stay engaged to the story. This book can be used for pure enjoyment or an add on to curriculum. A list of Master Books curriculum that would be good to use this book with is included.

This book is comprised of stories about multiple different heroes from a variety of wars beginning with the American Revolution. The stories are well-written and make for great read-alouds. We add one into our morning time routine and appreciate that they teach both history and character. The stories are only around ten pages per person, which makes them easy to read in one sitting. Students could also read them independently.

From my eleven-year-old son: “This is one of my favorite books just to sit and read! The stories are so descriptive, I almost feel like I’m there in the battles! I especially liked reading about Jacob DeShazer and how he fought in a war with Japan, became a Christian while in prison there, and later went back to Japan as a missionary. I like the glossary and that the words are introduced one by one on the side of the page as I read the book. The illustrations make it seem more real, too. Highly recommend!”
