About this product
Product Information
The most comprehensive collection of Medal of Honor paintings ever created by a single artist! At the age of 82, renowned illustrator and former United States Marine Corps artist-in-residence Col. Charles Waterhouse set out to paint US Marines and Navy corpsmen engaged in the acts for which they were awarded the Medal of Honor. At the time of his death, Waterhouse had completed over 332 paintings and portraits of recipients from the Civil War to Afghanistan. The most comprehensive collection of Medal of Honor paintings ever created by a single artist. Valor in Action tells the true story of some amazing American heroes who went above and beyond the call of duty, and the tenacious artist who--armed only with a paintbrush--sought to capture their heroic actions in the moment they occurred, to his dying breath.

Reviews
The inimitable artwork of the legendary Colonel Charles Waterhouse is complemented by the eloquent prose of an accomplished author in this unforgettable tribute from a daughter to her father and from a Marine to his beloved Corps., The word "hero" is tossed around freely these days, but there is no more pure definition of that word than how we must view those very few soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, who have earned the Medal of Honor. The written word extolling the accomplishments of these men is all well and good. But to preserve the memory of their deeds, nothing can compare to the visual. These paintings give everyone who sees them a graphic definition of their experiences. No embellishment, no exaggeration is necessary. Their deeds, their deeds show us all just what virtue can be: valor, bravery, sacrifice, and heroism. These paintings tell their story. As so many of these men drift into old age, it is imperative that we pass down to posterity just what the word "hero" truly means. These paintings by Charles Waterhouse are simply a treasure. This is a marvelous book., Colonel Charles Waterhouse is arguably the finest military artist of recent history. In prose that approaches poetry, his daughter Jane Waterhouse, skillfully describes how his art captures the spirit of his beloved Marine Corps and the essence of American patriotism. During his last years Waterhouse strove to eulogize every Marine awarded the Medal of Honor. If you love America, you'll love this tribute.", Noted novelist Jane Waterhouse has stepped into the non-fiction genre with a heart-driven, marvelously crafted two-part volume honoring the life of her outstanding U.S.Marine father, and famed artist/sculptor, Colonel Charles Waterhouse. Her skillful, warm biography memorializes her talented father in part one and then in the second part, she includes over 300 superb Waterhouse paintings of Medal of Honor Marines in the action earning their medals. This is a must add to your personal library and a made-to-order gift for all Marines., Colonel Waterhouse had a talent to forever document the history of the U.S. Marine Corps in great military works of art. He was a one of a kind individual and this book is a gift to all Marines, highlighting important waypoints in our Corps' history.
