American military history is filled with unknown heroes who make extraordinary accomplishments with quiet dedication and humility. In his book, Learning to Live from Those Willing to Die: Life Lessons from the Hero Next Door, Capt. David E. Grogan shines a light on men and women who served with simplicity and selflessness across a wide spectrum of conflicts.

Drawing on interviews, research, and his own military experiences, the author presents detailed portraits of lives spent in service while offering lessons that can be gleaned from their example. He illuminates the personal goodness of these veterans, as well their struggles and setbacks.

The detailed stories in this book teach inspiring lessons of strength, perseverance, and love. The book is a powerful tribute to all those who serve our country and is also a gripping read. Highly recommended.
