Customer Reviews

Restore your faith in justice - READ THIS BOOK

OK, so I am biased because Milo Radulovich is my cousin, but speaking as an (amateur) historian, I can say this is book is excellently researched. Michael Ranville gives you not only an incredible story of the "little man in turbulent times" (which is an incredible way to learn history) but also places the chronology of the Radulovich story against other US & World events of the time, giving the book a depth and range that many stories written in this fashion lack. This book is also fascinating from the perspective of the immigrants and "third culture kids" who shaped (and continue to shape) the American vision. This book is a must-read if you teach or study American history 1945-Present professionally. I wish everyone could meet Milo Radulovich; his courage then AND now, and that of the entire family, shines.

Great book on family honor

Mr. Radulovich is an inspiration on the value of family honor and loyality in our society.

Milo Radulovich an American Hero!

This is an awesome inspirational book! It's remarkable proof that one determined individual can make a difference and that "when you're right you have to stand up for yourself or you're dead". I plan on making sure my kids read and sharing with my friends.

Excellent book of a first rate American.

What the country must read how one person can make the difference for the rights of the American people. The loyalty for your parents and this country are a must. The author and Mr. Milo Radulovich make the point. An outstanding book, Thumbs up
