Secret Heroes

<em>Secret Heroes</em> is a remarkable compendium by Paul Martin former Executive Editor of <em>National Geographic Traveler</em> that illuminates the lives of thirty forgotten American heroes. Gathering together remarkable stories about unknown champions explorers inventors and innovators who never made the pages of American history textbooks--not George Washington but the tailor who saved his life...twice; the first African-American combat pilot; the 62-year-old female muckraking journalist who refused to turn her back on injustice--<em>Secret Heroes</em> is just the sort of fascinating and fun popular history that readers love not unlike Kenneth C. Davis's bestselling Don't Know Much About(R) series and Rick Beyer's <em>The Greatest Stories Never Told</em>.<br />
