**Description:**
"Against All Odds" is an instant New York Times bestseller that tells the untold story of four highly decorated soldiers from World War II, all of whom received the Medal of Honor. Written by Alex Kershaw, the national bestselling author of "The First Wave," this book takes readers on a riveting journey from the beaches of French Morocco to Hitler's mountaintop fortress.
The story revolves around four remarkable men who served in the same unit and demonstrated incredible heroism on the battlefield. Maurice "Footsie" Britt, a former professional football player, achieved the distinction of being the first American to receive every award for valor in a single war. Michael Daly, a West Point dropout, repeatedly risked his life to protect his fellow soldiers. Keith Ware, who would later become the first and only draftee in history to attain the rank of general before serving in Vietnam, owed his life to a young Texan named Audie Murphy, the most decorated combat soldier of World War II.
Alex Kershaw draws from personal interviews and a wealth of primary source material to provide a gripping account of American courage and valor. The narrative spans over 600 days of relentless combat, from the deserts of North Africa to the heart of Nazi Germany. These four exceptional warriors each receive the ultimate accolade, the Congressional Medal of Honor, for their extraordinary bravery.
After surviving against all odds, the book explores the heavy burdens and great expectations associated with the Medal of Honor. It delves into the lives of these remarkable individuals and examines how they sought peace and solace in the aftermath of their harrowing experiences.
"Against All Odds" is a compelling and deeply moving account of courage, survival, and the enduring impact of war on those who serve.
