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.
