If Not Now, When?: Duty and Sacrifice in America's Time of Need

JACK JACOBS stands tall as a humble hero. Jack's actions are truly heroic and told with humility, humor and matter-of-fact style that captures the reader. Along with Jack Jacobs, it is my privilege to be a member of our Medal of Honor Society - today, Jan 4,2009 - having ninety nine living members. Within our MOH Society, Jack is a hero's hero.

Excellent book. Well written. His insights are right-on and often ironically humorous. Those who lived those times will appreciate his viewpoints -- for those who didn't, read and learn.

while this book is ostensibly a biography of jack jacobs, a person that i greatly admire, it is also a book about the tragedy of war, the stupid way that it has been prosecuted by our leaders and a book of philosophy about life in general. it is well worth reading. the book actually surprised me with its depth.

A great book telling it like it was and still is today. I was in the USN during this same time as a Navy Pilot on the USS Ranger. I met the Col. at a MOH book signing and watch him on IMUS in the morning. I hope he writes another book. john manstrom, ga.
