Stories of courage that deserve to be told

I picked this up for my son, who loves history, and we both found it fascinating. The stories of bravery and resilience are gripping, and I appreciate how it highlights lesser-known heroes of WWII. It’s a compelling read that brings history to life in a way that sticks with you.

Great Audiobook!

I'm a bit of a World War II nerd so I thought this would be a fun audiobook to give a go! Boy was I pleased. Definitely would recommend for anyone who's into this kind of topic or era!

Short, gripping, true war stories not forgotten

You could make a feature-length movie out of some of these stories, so harrowing the action and remarkable the bravery. American readers tend to know much more about the American heroes, but the British were in it much longer in and have their own set of heroes. The accounts in this volume are well-told, well-documented, and well-narrated. By the end, I found myself wondering if Britain is still producing people of such high caliber.

The Stories You Never Hear About

British Heros of World War II is a series of inspirational stories about sacrifice and bravery. These are the stories that you don't hear about regularly as they are not all well known names. They are all gripping and leave you wanting more. The narration is excellent for this audiobook.

Inspiring WW2 stories across the pond

Inspiring WW2 stories that will inform and make you appreciate what these men and women had to sacrifice. The personal stories include various brave men and women and what they had to overcome during the war. I like that it focuses on the individual people so that we can know them better.

Worth listening to it

I studied English, so I definitely studied the wars from a British perspective, and this book taught me more than my years at college. Listening about those who literally gave up their lives (and also women who tend to be neglected in history) for an honorable cause was very eye-opening.

Each story feels personal, like you’re right there

If you think you know WWII, trust me, this audiobook will surprise you. The guts these people had is unreal! Feels like you’re right there with them, watching history happen. It’s not just about war—it’s about real people making crazy brave choices. Super interesting and definitely worth a listen!

Incredible Stories of Wartime Courage

Wow, this audiobook was something else. It told some truly incredible stories of regular people doing extraordinary things during a massive war. I was hooked by the tales of bravery and resilience – some were quiet acts of defiance, others were full-on, larger-than-life heroics. It really makes you think about what it takes to be courageous. Definitely worth a listen if you're into history or just a good story.

Bravery is about pushing forward despite the fear.

I’ve always struggled to speak up when things get tough. But after listening this, I get that bravery isn’t about not being scared, it’s about pushing through anyway. These stories made me feel like I can handle more than I thought.
