Beyond Belief: True Stories of US Navy Heroes

“Beyond Belief” is a unique compilation of short stories by a team of authors and researchers.

Herein you will find some of the most amazing stories ever told, each of them presented in an historically factual manner without hyperbole or literary license. Even more amazing is the fact that each of these stories is TRUE!

The scene illustrated on the cover was chosen as a fitting example of what kind of stories we wanted to write for this book, and is a vivid and historically accurate depiction of a World War II event that in which a Navy Corps on a submarine during a War Patrol, undertook an emergency appendectomy on a sailor, without benefit of medical tools or an operating room, to save his life.

In these pages you will find thoroughly researched stories. These are the stories that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief, proving as one author once wrote, “Truth is not only stranger than fiction, but far more interesting.”

To purchase this book: amazon.com
