Discover the true stories of America’s post-9/11 heroes — the men and women who answered the call after the attacks of September 11, served in the longest wars in U.S. history, and continue to embody courage, sacrifice, and purpose every day.
From Emmy Award-winning ABC News chief global affairs correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Martha Raddatz comes The Hero Next Door: Stories of Patriotism and Purpose — a powerful, uplifting collection of real-life accounts that celebrate the quiet heroism of America’s veterans.
Through intimate, deeply reported profiles, Raddatz introduces readers to the veterans who fought on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan, then returned home to become teachers, first responders, community leaders, and everyday patriots. Their stories reveal not only the brutal realities of combat but also the profound resilience, service, and renewed sense of purpose that define the 9/11 generation.
Timely, inspiring, and profoundly moving, this book is a heartfelt tribute to the heroes living among us — and a powerful reminder of what patriotism and sacrifice truly mean in modern America.
Perfect for fans of military nonfiction, veteran memoirs, and books like The Long Road Home (also by Raddatz), Band of Brothers, or Thank You for Your Service. Ideal as a gift for Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, or anyone who believes in honoring the men and women who serve.
