Good one overall

A Navy cook going from flipping eggs to taking on enemy fire at Pearl Harbor? Wild... that spy chick with the fake leg playing 4D chess with Nazis? Straight savage, and some dude snapping pics in the middle of literal concentration camps? Absolute unit lol There’s women, Black soldiers, even a crane operator at Pearl Harbor who just said, “Nah, not today, Japan.” The way they talk about their lives before and after makes it way more real, too

Inspiring audiobook !!!

American Heroes of World War II is a deeply moving and inspiring audiobook that left me in awe of the courage and resilience of ordinary individuals who accomplished extraordinary feats during one of history’s darkest periods.

What I loved most was how it spotlighted unsung heroes—people like Doris Miller and Virginia Hall, whose bravery was pivotal yet often overlooked. The detailed storytelling made each account feel personal and vivid, transporting me to the heart of their struggles and triumphs.

The diversity of the heroes featured and the range of their contributions, from battlefield valor to covert espionage, reminded me of the many ways individuals can make a difference. It’s not just a recounting of facts—it’s a celebration of human spirit and determination.

This book left me inspired and grateful for the sacrifices made by these heroes. If you’re a history enthusiast or just someone looking for stories of resilience and bravery, this is an absolute must-listen!
