[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars The author Stephen Wynn set himself an unenviable task of selecting ten of the most notable VC recipients of WW2, from a total of 182 that were awarded. His wide cross-section of recipients covered the major military branches of the services as well as the often unappreciated bravery of the Colonial forces. I enjoyed his historical background tales of the VC from its inception during the Crimean War through to the present day. The various stories of immense bravery are incredible, Each exceptionally heroic act making a powerful difference to the ultimate outcome of their specific battle. or mission. I thoroughly recommend this book to the lovers of military history.
