Sixty-four heroes. One story. Sharon Wells Wagner, author of Red
Wells, collaborated with her son, Stephen Wagner, on this
extraordinary account of one of history's greatest conflicts: World
War II. Told through the eyes of its participants, Ordinary Heroes
is a compelling collection of true stories woven into a single
narrative spanning the entire war-from the waters of Pearl Harbor
to the sands of Normandy to the mountains of Okinawa. The result of
more than sixty interviews, this is a story about enlisted
men-ordinary men whose families struggled to survive the Great
Depression, who grew up on farms and in the small towns of rural
America. When called upon to serve they rose to the challenge. In
war they saw the best and the worst of humanity. They experienced
hope and despair, joy and heartbreak. Those who survived returned
home profoundly changed. War leaves its mark on the best of men,
and the courageous individuals within these pages are no exception.
They did not turn their backs when history needed them most, but
met the challenge head on. In doing so they brought peace to a
world at war.
