Borch, one time lawyer now focusing on his role of military historian and archivist, has put together a listing of many of the over one million servicemen and women who have earned the Purple Heart. A brief history introduces the badge that General Washington created in 1782. Some of the recipients noted here come to us with modest details of their circumstances; others have stories of more detail and depth. All are saluted for courage and military merit. There are black and white photos throughout. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
