| Zusammenfassung: | "Symbol of Courage is a history of Britain's most famous medal, the Victoria Cross, and a tribute to the men who have won it." "The Victoria Cross can only be awarded for 'most conspicuous bravery, or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy.' It has been awarded only 1,354 times since the Crimean War, the majority of medals going to British and Commonwealth troops." "Symbol of Courage brings the story of the medal to life. After telling of Queen Victoria's concern for her troops, and how she devised the Victoria Cross, there is a narrative history of every conflict in which the VC has been awarded - from the Crimean War to the Falklands. It also gives a complete listing of every VC holder with details of the action in which he won the medal."--BOOK JACKET. |
