This book is a fascinating view into the world of known and
unknown heroes. Robert L. Dilenschneider delves into the
various aspects of heroism and how larger than life historical
figures, very often, have serious flaws as well as virtuous
characteristics. In fact, as noted in the book, the very traits
considered flaws are those which give such people the drive
and vision to achieve great deeds.
Robert L. Dilenschneider explores the personalities of heroic
figures and hidden heroes who inspired those who went on to
perform deeds worthy of remembrance. Looking askance at
some of the current media created figures who are worshiped
by a celebrity obsessed culture, he wants us to draw
inspiration from these people and transmit that to others as
we face the tough tasks required in these times of peril.
Chapters include conversations with people like Steve Forbes,
Lamar Alexander, Senator Orrin Hatch, The Reverend Edward
Malloy and Rabbi Arthur Schneier, amongst others, as they
relate their thoughts and feelings about such people as
Charles Lindbergh, Winston Churchill, John Glenn and famed
World War II GI Correspondent Ernie Pyle.
