Product Description
From the Back Cover
The most decorated soldier of World War II, Audie Murphy, portrays himself in this action packed battle saga. Incredibly realistic war footage filled with grand heroics punctuates the true-life story of the famed Texas youth whose army exploits include countless front-line battles and remarkable feats of heroism. But as his list of medals grows, Murphy's buddies continue to fall, leaving him as one of the few to recount the powerful tale of guts, glory, heart and human spirit of those who went To Hell And Back during World War II.

Format:Hardcover
I have always admired Audie Murphy, and once you've read this account of his personal war time experiences I am positive you will too.
This is a blood and guts no holds barred account by a man who is modest to the end when telling of his bravery and loyalty to his comrades. I'm not surprised that he won the Congressional Medal of Honor, and many other bravery decorations.
What I particularly love about this book is that it is about all fighting men and does not criticise any other nation or in the same vain hype up the actions of one particular Army.
I recommend this enthralling and modest account to anyone with an interest in truth. You won't regret or forget it.

I bought this to replace an older copy. Audie has written about everything that happened to him and his comrades and never once went into any great detail that this was his war, this was his great glorious moment. This alone should tell you what this man was like, without the knowledge that he was America's most highly decorated soldier - his reputation only enhances this work and never once colours it. He never glorifies the conflict, highlighting again and again the whole scale of human tragedy. He doesn't demonise the Germans either - he tells it plainly and unvarnished and relatively unbiased. This is the definitive book that everyone who has any interest in the fighting men of the Second World War should read and it is a book that everyone should read out of the necessity to understand the sacrifice of men, regardless of nationality, regardless of politics and who truly want to learn something.
Thank you Audie, for teaching me things.

It is not often that heroes get to play themselves on Film. Audie Murphy does so with such skill that it is difficult to believe that he did it all for real to become America's most decorated soldier during World War 2. A brilliant and highly recommended war film.

Invaluable for movie historian
The story was highly authentic. However with Audie Murphy playing himself, he could hardly establish himself as an actor. Read more
