Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjHrzPgBUpe/ This is a well-written account of 4 brave soldiers’ experiences during WWII. As the book constantly jumps from one to the other, I confess that their stories blurred together. Regardless, the horrors of what these young men (and the others that they fought with) went through is quite vivid. It is all very tragic. Their heroics are undeniable. I appreciated that the author included what happened to these young men after the war, as no doubt their lives would have been forever affected by what they went through. I won a free copy of this book (thanks to the author & publisher!) and am voluntarily providing an honest review keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"The national bestselling author of The First Wave tells the untold story of four of the most decorated soldiers of World War II-all Medal of Honor recipients-from the beaches of French Morocco to Hitler's own mountaintop fortress As the Allies raced to defeat Hitler, four men, all in the same unit, earned medal after medal for battlefield heroism. Maurice "Footsie" Britt, a former professional football player, became the very first American to receive every award for valor in a single war. Michael Daly was a West Point dropout who risked his neck over and over to keep his men alive. Keith Ware would one day become the first and only draftee in history to attain the rank of general before serving in Vietnam. In WWII, Ware owed his life to the finest soldier he ever commanded, a baby-faced Texan named Audie Murphy. In the campaign to liberate Europe, each would gain the ultimate accolade, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Tapping into personal interviews and a wealth of primary source material, Alex Kershaw has delivered his most gripping account yet of American courage, spanning more than six hundred days of increasingly merciless combat, from the deserts of North Africa to the dark heart of Nazi Germany. Once the guns fell silent, these four exceptional warriors would discover just how heavy the Medal of Honor could be-and how great the expectations associated with it. Having survived against all odds, who among them would finally find peace?"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
