The darkest of evils called for the bravest of the brave to step forward and defend the free world. Millions of people lost their lives, millions suffered physical and mental affects. This wasn't a time for just the brave few, it was a time of global challenge and almost everybody stepped up to the mark. And so, why should it be that those stars and celebrities of stage and screen should be exempt? The truth is that a great many not only took the challenge of war, but volunteered for it and shone as if they were giving the greatest of performances. This is the surprising story of those showbiz soldiers who cast aside their cares for fame and fortune and joined the millions of gallant men and women around the world in the battle against tyranny.
