Ordinary Heroes: Six Stars in the Window is a non-fiction story of the Koski family and the six Koski brothers' service in World War II. The story actually begins when the War is almost over on May 4, 1945 when the Koski family received the telegram that one of the six Koski brothers had been killed in action.
This is the story of the path of events that led up to that fateful day. It is the story of a poor immigrant family who struggled to survive the Great Depression; the story of the six brothers, the men they served with, and the heroes who saved the world during the dark days of World War II. It is the story of the rise of Fascism and the failed politics of appeasement; the story of leaders of the day - Hitler and Chamberlain, Churchill and Roosevelt. It is the story that spans the scale from world events and powerful leaders to the ordinary people who rose to meet the extraordinary challenges of those tumultuous times.
This is not a dry, historical account of events; this is a detailed, accurate depiction of the real-life experiences of these ordinary soldiers, these ordinary heroes, drawn against the backdrop of those most tumultuous times.
Ordinary Heroes: Six Stars in the Window is a compelling account of the six Koski brothers and of World War II as seen through the eyes of the young men who fought it.
