War transforms ordinary men into the heroes of the battlefield, and the
story of their exploits and brilliant strategy is more exciting than any
tale of fiction. The _Boys’ Book of Famous Soldiers_ brings together the
stories of thirteen immortals of history: Washington, Grant, Lee,
Jackson, Napoleon, Wellington, Foch and Joffre, Pershing, Marshall,
Eisenhower, and MacArthur—and Rodger Young, the only enlisted man on
this roster of generals. These biographies reveal little-known facts
about these men, and the stories behind their courageous deeds and
difficult decisions.
