CHOOSING COURAGE tells the stories of Medal of Honor winners from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Each profile begins with general information about the subject -- birthdate/death date (if applicable), hometown, dates of service, and a quote. The stories are separated by conflict and told chronologically, starting with WWII. In between some of the profiles, there are short articles about subjects related to the conflict or time period.

This will be a good book for teens interested in the military and survival stories. It's very accessible and I really like how the author gives brief overviews of each of the conflicts and the corresponding time periods. For many teens, even 9/11 is before they were born, and sometimes it's easy to forget that.

B rating. Recommended
