This is an auction for THE DANGEROUS BOOK OF HEROES by Conn Iggulden & David Iggulden.

Amazon.com reviews:

"Brothers Conn and David Iggulden present their big book of heroes: the men and women who have shaped our lives and inspired generations. This treasure chest of saints, rogues, and champions of causes great and small is filled with names you will surely recognize, such as George Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. and Sir Henry Morgan and Edith Cavell, whose roles in history are no less significant or exciting. From Helen Keller and Scott of the Antarctic to Sitting Bull and the passengers of Flight 93, this dangerous book is dedicated to those who dove headfirst into battle, those who made amazing discoveries, and those who moved boundaries in their lifetimes."

"FIVE STARS!!! We seem to be hitting a point in the world where we're trying to forget that things can hard, that you have to strive, that the difficult and even impossible are doable if you just bust your behind. The characters from this book did hard things, constantly drove for bigger, better, more, went after the difficult and impossible, etc. All this is great because we can hand this book to boys (as I ultimately passed it to my son after I was through with it) and they can see that others have carved their own paths and that it's possible for them to carve their own too. And yeah, maybe that's in the military, but maybe it's in science or exploration or helping your fellow man, all in the book."
