This audiobook covers stories in a powerful and moving collection that I haven't heard before. Growing up as a kid I was really interested in military history too! My favorite was getting to hear about Virginia Hall. This is great for anyone who is interested in military related history and especially world war 2, and the narrator does a great job!

I like history, but I like the true-life stories of individuals during that time more. This is a good listen for anyone who loves hearing about those never heard stories of heroes during WW2. The stories are fun to listen to and make learning about the war on a human level that cannot be experienced by looking at battle analytics, strategies, etc. Good stuff!
