Summary: How can you not love this book?
Review: Rabey does an excellent job of pulling together the lives of service men and women in WWII and beyong. These stories are of the courage on the line, behind the lines and behind the scenes. The profiles Rabey writes are inspiring to all no matter what a person believes religiously. From the pilot who flew to Okinawa getting his plane destroyed by a kamikaze to the Tuskeegee Airman whose faith helped him to endure the ugliness of segregation this book shows the enduring promise of people who have hope. These men and women became heroes and then after the war served the country they fought for and the faith they hoped for directly or through encouraging family and friends in the way they chose to live. This book helps us to view Americans of all walks of life and heroes from Korea, Italy (a Catholic Priest), Germany (Dietricht Bobhoffer) and individuals from all Christian faiths. What they did during war, imprisonment, injury, surviving, enduring and winning. From Bataan to Okinawa to the prisons of Nazi camps for US Airmen to Berlin you will see how these Christians lived during and after the war. Inspired writing that will bring you to tears of sorrow and joy.
