Cherokee-American war hero Jack Montgomery received the Medal of Honor after bravely protecting his platoon in a World War II battle in Italy.  At his own peril, Montgomery launched grenades into three different axis controlled areas, alleviating gunfire on his troops. The Medal of Honor series features a military hero and is part biography and part informational text.  With details explaining the hierarchy of the US Army and its divisions, the black and white photos and small inserts throughout the chapters keep the text interesting. Despite its slim size, this is not an easy read. Prior knowledge of World War II is necessary to be able to jump into the military exploits of 1942.  End pages include key names and terms, notes and a selected biography. This would appear to be a high demand series as most middle school collections tend to see constant traffic surrounding wars of the past.
