Pomper Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The remarkable stories of eight Americans who acted as heroes by "just doing their jobs" during national crises. Publisher Description True American heroes need not have superhuman abilities nor do they need to act alone. Heroism in a democracy is different from the heroism of myths and legends, writes Gerald Pomper in this original contribution to the literature of U.S. politics. Through the remarkable stories of eight diverse Americans who acted as heroes by "just doing their jobs" during national crises, he offers a provocative definition of heroism and fresh reasons to respect U.S. institutions and the people who work within them. This new paperback edition includes photographs, an introductory chapter on American heroism after 9/11, a survey of the meanings of heroism in U.S. popular culture, and an original concluding theory of "ordinary" heroism. Author Biography Gerald M. Pomper is Board of Governors Professor of Political Science (Emeritus) at Rutgers University. He is the author or editor of twenty books and many articles on U.S. politics.
