Description

Superlative bravery, humble heroism, selfless dedication: these are just some of the qualities that informed the actions of the men featured in this collection. These heroes did not hesitate to put themselves in the line of fire - from high-speed car chases down busy city streets to perilous rescues in flame-engulfed houses to protect the mothers, sisters, grandfathers, classmates, and neighbours in our communities from harm. For this, they are rarely thanked. This book highlights their achievements in appreciation
