520    The book examines examples of outstanding courage 
       exhibited by people living in modern Britain.  These 
       include British servicemen and servicewomen serving in 
       Iraq and Afghanistan, police officers, and ordinary 
       civilians in Britain and around the world.  All of the 
       cases cited have been awarded gallantry medals by the 
       British government since 2000.The purpose of the book is 
       to inspire modern British people.  In the past, the heroes
       of Empire were well-known and respected, but since the 
       Second World War people have tended to associate heroism 
       with celebrity instead.  We hear footballers and actors 
       described as ‘heroes’, and this demeans the 
       word, and the real heroes of modern British society.  The 
       generations that fought the First and Second World Wars 
       have often been held up as the greatest generations of 
       British people.  This book shows Britons that the kind of 
       grit, determination, courage and willingness to &
       lsquo;have a go’ exhibited by previous generations 
       are as alive now as they ever were, and heroes can come 
       from all walks of life and all ethnic groups in modern 
       Britain. [Elib]
