During World War II, as the Allies raced to defeat Hitler, reporters learned of four American soldiers, all in the same regiment, who had earned medal after medal for battlefield heroism: Captain Maurice “Footsie” Britt, the first American to receive every award for valor in a single war. Michael Daly, who risked his neck over and over to keep his men alive. Captain Keith Ware, the most senior US general to die in Vietnam. And Audie Murphy, an American legend who would one day become a celebrated Hollywood star. Tapping into personal interviews and a wealth of primary source material, Alex Kershaw has delivered his most gripping account yet of American courage. Once the guns fell silent, the four would discover just how heavy the Medal of Honor could weigh, and how great the expectations associated with it could be. This extraordinary brotherhood would fight just as hard to find peace.
