As a means of instruction, it teaches love of one's own country and people, bravery, courage, and character development by example. Each story has a central hero that attracts the interest of the reader and arouses in him aspirations for the higher values of patriotism, leadership, generosity, and sacrifice for one's countrymen or people in need, especially in time of crisis. The young readers in the elementary and high school levels, being at the age of hero-worship, cannot help identifying themselves with the heroes portrayed here and soon assume their ideals, as in the movies, and gradually grow up in goodness and desirability. By auto-suggestion, they develop in themselves the values and virtues that they admire in these men, who actually lived and defended their country and people against enemies and the forces of evil. --Preface of the book.
