‘8 Seconds of Courage’ A novel that is worth reading
I have read my share of autobiographies. Each one tells a different story. I have not read something like 8 Seconds of Courage in a long time. I was able to get a review copy and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for 8 Seconds of Courage here:
8 Seconds of Courage tells Flo’s story from his childhood in France to his decision to enlist and the grueling training he underwent at US Army Ranger School. Through trial and error, he learned to be a field commander and on the front lines in Afghanistan formed close and lasting bonds with his fellow soldiers. It was this powerful sense of responsibility that compelled him to take his brave action to save lives, even at the risk of his own.
Seldom when we hear about the heroism of Medal of Honor recipients do we learn what motivates their actions. Flo Groberg provides that essential insight into his selfless act of valor while honoring his four fallen brothers in arms. 8 Seconds of Courage is a story of heroism, sacrifice, and camaraderie in wartime.
I was pleasantly surprised by 8 Second of Courage. The book starts off a bit weak, but gets better as the narrative unfolds. It is an amazing tale about how a man became a soldier, and then did something that made him a hero. From moments as a child to the challenges he faced to become a great soldier, the tale it tells is an inspiring one. If you want to learn more about 8 Seconds of Courage click on this website.
