Beyond Belief is a unique compilation of short stories by a team of authors/historians. Herein you will find some of the most amazing stories ever told, each of them presented in a historically factual manner without hyperbole or literary license. Even more amazing is the fact that each of these stories are TRUE! This book profiles more than 125 of Kansas’ most heroic Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, in actions from the Civil War to present. They hailed from more than 100 cities, towns, and communities in Kansas, many of them almost forgotten with time – UNTIL NOW!

Army Second Lieutenant Bob Dole is featured in the inspiring cover story. Other stories include a Kansas airman who was part of the famed Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, Japan, in the early days of World War II. Some were flying ACEs, others were heroic infantrymen, medics, and even a couple of chaplains including one who was highly decorated for heroism in Alaska during World War II. Some names like the four Strothers Brothers are still well know, others have almost been forgotten in time . . . UNTIL NOW.

Each of the heroes profiled herein served with great distinction and they are a credit to the Sunflower State and their hometowns. These are the stories that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief, proving as one author once wrote, “Truth is not only stranger than fiction, but far more interesting.”
