Maurice \u201cFootsie\u201d 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. <br \/> \u00a0<br \/> 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\u2014and how great the expectations associated with it. Having survived against all odds, who among them would finally find peace?    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Dutton Caliber; Reprint edition (April 25, 2023) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 368 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 0593183754 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-0593183755 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 12.8 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 6.02 x 0.79 x 9 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book very informative, well-researched, and detailed.
