Summary

When he was 17 years old, Audie Murphy falsified his birth records so that he could enlist in the army and help defeat the Nazis. When he was 19, he single-handedly turned back the German army at the Battle of Colmar Pocket by climbing on top of a tank with a machine gun, a moment immortalized in the classic film To Hell and Back, starring Audie himself.

In the first biography covering his entire life - including his severe PTSD and his tragic death at age 45 - the unusual story of Audie Murphy, the most decorated hero of World War II, is brought to life for a new generation.

A True American Hero

Growing up Audie Murphy was one of my heroes. To finally hear his story is amazing. He was a shy determined young man who beat all the odds in WW2. He cam away with every honour/medal there was to have.
He suffered geatly with PTSD and still went on to become a movie star. A tragic end to his story in the plane crash.
RIP Audie Murphy.
A great biography

Hero

If you want to hear about a real hero, a word that is used so much in the media that it’s lost it’s true meaning. This is about a true hero who put his life on the line time and again to help his comrades in arms
