Douglas MacArthur: What Greater Honor
Whether masterminding strategy and fighting on the front lines to secure Allied victory in World War I and World War II or guiding war-torn nations to recovery in peacetime, five-star General Douglas MacArthur faced every challenge with unwavering courage and resolve. The general began his honored army career by leading his fellow cadets at West Point and ultimately commanded all U.S. forces in Asia. Remembered especially for directing the fight against Japanese expansion during WWII and later governing the defeated Japanese people with grace and wisdom, General MacArthur won the respect of millions, both allies and enemies (1880-1964). Paperback, 224 pages.
Ernest Shackleton: Going South
As adventurers from around the world raced to reach the South Pole and achieve other polar firsts in the early 1900s, outsider Ernest Shackleton and his motley expeditions would outshine even the British navy, becoming icons of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Known for prizing loyalty, leadership, and skill without regard for rank or social class—and for bringing men back alive—Shackleton completed three death-defying Antarctic journeys. Called the Boss by his crew and Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton by the king, the Anglo-Irish explorer counted it all part of life’s grand adventure (1874–1922). Paperback, 240 pages.
George Washington Carver: From Slave to Scientist
Once a kidnapped slave baby, George Washington Carver found freedom in learning everything he could about the world around him. Overcoming poverty and racism, George became a brilliant scientist and a gifted professor who dedicated his expertise to helping black farmers escape the devastating grip of poverty. George's scientific creativity knew no limits. His ingenious experimentation with peanuts and other plants helped rescue the failing Southern economy. Still remembered for his far-reaching and diverse achievements, Dr. Carver generously shared his talent simply for the reward of helping others (1864?-1943). Paperback, 192 pages.

Louis Zamperini: Redemption
As an Olympic runner, a bombardier in the Army Air Corps, and a prisoner of war, Louis Zamperini was determined to thrive and survive. Never backing down from a challenge, Louie lived a life of adventure while modeling hope and forgiveness to a generation. A magnet for trouble as a boy, Louis Zamperini determined to create a new path for himself. Nicknamed the "Torrance Tornado," he set national records and traveled to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. His resolve as a runner was matched by his will to survive a plane crash, weeks adrift at sea, and years in a prison camp. This American hero encouraged countless others to have faith and to persevere through trials, revealing that no life is beyond redemption (1917-2014). Paperback, 220 pages.
Winston Churchill: Resolute
Winston Churchill: Resolute
Winston Churchill was born into a wealthy aristocratic family. He grew up with stories of his ancestor, John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough, who led the British army to triumph against the French and Bavarians in the War of the Spanish Succession. After serving in the British Calvary, Winston followed his father in politics, eventually becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain as Europe descended into war once again. Before long, the British stood alone against Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. During this dark time, Winston’s leadership skills were put to the test as he encouraged his countrymen to stand firm against the would-be German invaders. Without Winston Churchill’s courage, vision, and perseverance under these extreme circumstances, the outcome of World War II might well have been very different (1874–1965). Paperback, 208 pages.
