VC HEROES: THE TRUE STORIES BEHIND EVERY VC WINNER SINCE WORLD WAR TWO

Book ID/图书代码： 01930012B55328

English Summary/英文概要： For a nation with a long and proud-military tradition, one token stands above all others as a mark of recognition for the ultimate individual feats of arms: the Victoria Cross. Awarded for one reason alone - to mark extreme acts of great heroism by British and Commonwealth servicemen in the face of the enemy - it is unquestionably the hardest club in the world to gain entrance to. Its holders - ordinary soldiers, sailors and airmen - are linked by an uncommon bond of exceptional bravery, displayed often at great personal risk and against impossible odds. The VC has been awarded only sixteen times since the end of the Second World War in 1945. Three of these awards were made to recipients who had paid the ultimate sacrifice while demonstrating gallantry beyond the call of duty.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对于一个拥有漫长军事荣耀传统的国家而言，一枚小小的勋章就能够超越一切，能够代表一个人卓绝的军事功绩得到认可与尊敬，这便是维多利亚十字勋章（VC）。这枚勋章的授予只有一个原因---在英国和英联邦服役的军人在面对敌人时，作出了极其伟大的行为，并展示出了极其大无畏的英雄主义精神，因此，维多利亚十字勋章俱乐部无疑是世界上最难进入的俱乐部之一。这一勋章的持有者有普通的士兵，有海员，也有空军---但将他们联结在一起的则是一种极不寻常的联系，那便是当他们自身暴露在极大的危险中并处于几乎无法克服的逆境时，他们都展示出一股卓绝的勇气。1945年第二次世界大战结束至今，维多利亚十字勋章仅仅被授予给了16人。其中有三枚勋章的接受者展现出了超越自身使命的巨大勇气，并最终牺牲了宝贵的生命。（DC）
