Synopsis:
“We learn by stories, and this powerful, well-written book gives us forty superb ones. They couldn’t be more timely in an age that is experiencing too much bluster, blather, exhibitionism, and ignorance. Real Heroes will inspire us all to nurture the better angels of our nature.” —Steve Forbes, chairman and editor in chief at Forbes
“Real Heroes is a home run from start to finish. Every chapter informs and inspires. A master storyteller, Reed reminds us that heroism is much more than a fleeting impulse or an isolated instance. It springs from personal character, without which a free society is impossible.” —Walter E. Williams, economist at George Mason University
“A comprehensive roll call of the champions of liberty. You’ve heard of some of these extraordinary men and women, you’ll wonder why you haven’t heard of others before, but you’ll learn something in every chapter. ” —Daniel Hannan, member of the European Parliament from Britain, author of Inventing Freedom and The New Road to Serfdom
“Cheers to Larry Reed and ISI Books for this fun and fulfilling book of heroes to remember and rediscover.” —Paul Kengor, professor of political science at Grove City College
“No matter their time or place, the men and women we meet in this book share a passion for liberty and justice. Reed has a road map to strong character and a challenge to build a freer society.” —Jim DeMint, Heritage Foundation president and former U.S. senator
