"This intriguing volume demonstrates how marginalized groups’ identities and experiences were shaped by the hegemonic white, masculine warrior image. The essays are well-researched and simply fascinating."
- Edwin A. Martini (author of Agent Orange: History, Science, and the Politics of Uncertainty) "This book sheds light on what people see as the normal hero, while at the same time showing that there are many other deserving people that are heroes and don’t get the same recognition."
(Communication Booknotes Quarterly) "This work is highly recommended to anyone seeking a nuanced grasp of the complicated milieu of military heroism, marginalized groups, and the vital intersections between them."
- William A. Taylor (Marine Corps History)
