The recognition of both military prowess and courage in the face of the enemy and extreme adversity have been essential features of military activity world-wide since the earliest of times.In this comprehensive reference work 276 orders, decorations and medals of 43 nations are meticulously detailed with copious illustrations, in colour and black-and-white. The book covers the period from the Crimean War through to the present day. The recent changes to the UK's medal policy are described as are the implications of the break-up of the Soviet Union. In many cases the detailed descriptions of these decorations and medals are enriched by moving examples of actual awards, true stories of heroism and extracts from official citations.As this work demonstrates, gallantry is not the exclusive preserve of the military. Many awards were introduced to mark exceptional human endeavour on the part of civilians prepared to risk their lives to save others.The catalogue of decorations is supplemented by informed discussion of the problems associated with bravery awards, lack of official recognition for some heroic deeds, overlapping awards and the need for possible reorganisation. Gallantry Medals and Decorations of the World, while essential for the bookshelf of the specialist collector, will fascinate and inform all military historians..........................................................2001 NEW HARD BOUND W/DJ, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, 288 pages, prof illustrated in B&W and color, incl a color ribbon chart, glossary, . .
