  • Liverpool (England) -- Biography

With a foreword by Lord Derby, Liverpool VCs tells the stories of 23 men of Liverpool who won the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest award for gallantry. The author, James Murphy, sympathetically describes the lives of these brave men from cradle to grave, set against the rise and fall of Liverpool as a major seaport, and details their individual acts of bravery which led to the award.
