About this book
Wurden Kriegshelden, politische FĂŒhrerhelden und Superhelden zum Thema unzĂ€hliger Studien, hat sich die Forschung bisher kaum mit der Heroisierung gewöhnlicher Menschen auseinandergesetzt. Das Buch schlieĂt diese ForschungslĂŒcke am Beispiel der USA, Deutschlands und GroĂbritanniens - es ist die erste systematische wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Alltagshelden, die aufgrund tatsĂ€chlicher oder ihnen zugeschriebener auĂergewöhnlicher Taten heroisiert werden.
