Title: great book for its purpose
Review: The thing about this book is that it is different from every other medal of honor book i have seen. the typical book has the citation which means that they give you vignettes about "sgt. smith did the following and received the medal of honor"-those books have merit but there are plenty of them. this book gives you a breakdown of all kinds of data and statistics on the MOH recipients--such as "firsts" eg. first person to receive MOH who is what race, what rank, what branch of service. it gives totals for home state, branch of service and many other dimensions all broken down by conflict. so if you are a history trivia person or just want a statistical view of the MOH, this is the only book out there that does that. would imagine it would appeal most as light reference or to military history buffs. it is not a narrative and should not be expected to be one, for that there are other books, but for the orginal appoach and analytical work it gets 5 stars.
