Throughout history, boys of many nations have found themselves involved in battles of the armed forces, and it is to their credit that they have come through these ordeals with courage and endurance. The author was himself a soldier as a boy - and as a man - and knows too much about war to find in it anything glorious. He feels however that the boys who fought so bravely in combat deserve to have their names and exploits recorded. He has delved deeply into history and into records to uncover some astonishing stories of gallantry, skill and audacity on the part of boys. Here are teenage winners of the highest decorations for bravery - the Victoria Cross, the Congressional Medal of Honour, the Legion d'Honneur, the Iron Cross. On sea, land and in the air, youthful heroes accomplished deeds that verge on the incredible. C3B. Very Good/Good.
