Contains 7 stories
The Atomic Bomb
8 pp · non-fiction

In this riveting 1946 account, follow the discovery and development of the atomic bomb—from Albert Einstein's groundbreaking equation through the desperate scientific race between the Allies and Nazi Germany to harness the atom's devastating power. Witness the contributions of pioneering physicists like Dr. Lise Meitner, Dr. Niels Bohr, and others as they unlock the secret of uranium splitting, and see how free men fought to keep this world-changing knowledge out of enemy hands during the darkest days of World War II.

Major General Orde Charles Wingate
8 pp · war

Major General Orde Charles Wingate proves that disciplined soldiers can master unconventional warfare in the harshest terrain, from the desert sands of Palestine to the jungles of Burma. Drawing on his gift for unconventional tactics and intimate knowledge of local peoples, Wingate rises from a young captain tracking Arab brigands to the commander of a self-sufficient raiding force that strikes deep behind enemy lines. His unorthodox methods and hard-won victories in Ethiopia and Burma earn him an audience with Churchill himself—a recognition of a soldier who refused to accept the limits others imposed on warfare.

Fighting General! Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr., U.S. Army
6 pp · war

Lt. General Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr. rose through the ranks from cadet to commanding officer, earning distinction and medals through steady service across decades—but his greatest test came in the frozen terrain of Alaska, where he organized defenses against Japanese attack and later commanded forces at Okinawa. This is the remarkable true story of a soldier who lived and died in uniform, meeting his end not in retreat but amid the very men he led to victory.

Gen. Zachary Taylor
6 pp · history; war

From his early days as a young officer defending Fort Harrison against overwhelming odds, General Zachary Taylor rose through the ranks to face an even greater challenge—holding the line against Santa Anna's massive Mexican forces during the 1846 border conflict. With dwindling reinforcements and his best men stripped away for other campaigns, "Old Rough and Ready" refused to retreat, instead pushing deeper into Mexican territory and ultimately making his stand at a mountain gap called Buena Vista. Taylor's bold tactics and unwavering resolve against impossible odds would cement his legend and reshape the course of American history.

Captain Peter S. Hopkins
5 pp · history; war

Captain Peter S. Hopkins, an American military engineer attached to the Chinese Army, joins forces with his fellow officers to devise a bold strategy for capturing Sungshan—the heavily fortified Japanese stronghold that's been strangling China's vital supply lines. When frontal assaults up Pine Mountain prove devastatingly costly, Hopkins proposes an audacious alternative: tunnel beneath the enemy positions and detonate enough explosives to level their defenses. What unfolds is a tense underground race against time as Chinese soldiers and Japanese forces both scramble to complete their rival shafts and determine who will control the detonation.

Stormer of Stony Point
6 pp · history; war

In 1775, young Anthony Wayne answers the call to arms for the American cause, rapidly rising from firebrand colonist to Continental Army officer under General Washington. From the brutal winter at Valley Forge to victories at Germantown and Monmouth, Wayne proves himself a fearless leader—and finally earns his chance to capture a major fortress when he spots Stony Point, the strongest British garrison in the region. Under cover of darkness, Wayne leads three hundred men on a daring midnight assault up treacherous, stake-filled terrain, relying on silence, bayonets, and sheer courage to breach the fort's defenses.

Private James H. Mills
4 pp · history; war

Private James H. Mills was always the quiet type—a boy more comfortable with solitary walks than with his classmates—but when he's finally accepted into the Army and faces German machine gunners in Italy, this unassuming scout proves that real courage doesn't announce itself. Single-handedly defying overwhelming enemy firepower, Mills leads his platoon through a harrowing assault that defies all odds.
