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.
