About this listen

Instant #1 National Bestseller!

“A monumental contribution to comprehending the motivation and distinguished service of American warriors. American Heroes is a book that every citizen should read.”
— Association of the United States Army


From the authors of Walk in My Combat Boots, “American Heroes is a gripping collection of firsthand accounts…capturing the indomitable spirit of our nation’s finest” (Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List series).

U.S. soldiers who served in overseas conflicts—from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan—share true stories of the actions that earned them some of America’s most distinguished military medals, up to and including the Medal of Honor.

They never acted alone, but always in the spirit of camaraderie, patriotism, and for the good of our beloved country.

There has never been a better time for all of us to think about duty, sacrifice, and what it means to be an American hero.

Critic reviews

“James Patterson's American Heroes is a compelling work of nonfiction that should not be missed. A riveting chronicle of valor, humanity, and sacrifice, the diverse stories within the book's pages represent the very threads that hold our flag together.”—Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Chaos Agent, a Gray Man novel

“America at its best: ordinary Americans who found extraordinary courage and helped write our proud history in the process.”—Congressman Seth Moulton, Captain, US Marine Corps (Ret.)

American Heroes delivers compelling accounts of men and women at war. You can almost hear the bullets as you read these powerful stories told by and about selfless warriors. It’s a striking reminder that America’s highest awards for valor are more often earned by saving lives than by taking them.”—ADM E. T. Olson, USN (Ret.), former CDR (USSOCOM)
