Symbol of Courage: A History of the Victoria Cross Book

Symbol of Courage is a ground-breaking history of Britain's most famous medal, the Victoria Cross, and a tribute to the extraordinary 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. Symbol of Courage vividly brings the story of the medal to life, with a narrative history of every conflict in which the VC has been awarded and details of every VC holder with an account of the action in which he won the medal. Max Arthur, who is an acclaimed military historian and bestselling author of Forgotten Voices of the Great War, has written a fascinating and comprehensive study that will appeal to everyone interested in the nature of courage.Read More
