In September 1942, Colonel Merrill volunteers to lead a specialized jungle-fighting unit through the treacherous terrain of Burma to help cut off Japanese supply routes and support Chinese forces. After intensive training in Guatemala and India—from survival tactics to hand-to-hand combat—Merrill's Marauders are deployed in February 1944 to trap nearly 3,000 Japanese soldiers caught between allied positions in the Hukawng Valley. The unit executes a flanking attack on the Nambyu River, striking the Japanese from an unexpected angle while Chinese forces hold the line.

General James Edward Oglethorpe

Over a lifetime spanning ninety transformative years, General James Edward Oglethorpe witnesses the decline of Ottoman power in Europe and England's rise as a colonial force—first as a young soldier fighting alongside Prince Eugene against the Turks, then as a visionary who recognizes that human freedom cannot be won by the sword alone. Elected to Parliament, he champions a bold idea: establish a colony in the New World where persecuted debtors, religious minorities, and the downtrodden can build a society founded on liberty and equality. In 1733, Oglethorpe ventures to Georgia and lays out Savannah as a model city, welcoming the industrious and faithful of every nation and creed to create something unprecedented—a beacon of democratic possibility that will endure through revolution and beyond.

Beyond the established rules of combat, some soldiers possess an instinctive gift for seizing and holding the initiative—and Technical Sergeant Charles Kelly proved to be exactly that kind of soldier. Faced with a Nazi advance near Altavilla during the Allied drive from Salerno, Kelly launches a desperate single-handed stand against overwhelming odds, drawing on every weapon in the arsenal and his own resourcefulness to hold the line. This is the true story of how one soldier's courage and quick thinking earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor.
