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.

Deeper, we expect every organ in the body to be susceptible to pathology with the exception of the brain. This has to change.

In the nineteen forties these unseen wounds were not only denied but it was scorned. Even the people who lived with these hidden wounds were expected to never complain, never quit. Audie Leon Murphy did just that. But he paid for the stoicism in other ways.
This book tells what happened to the most decorated hero of WWII, after he put away all of the decorations. It is well worth the time spent reading it.
But for the rest of his life Audie Leon Murphy relived, not just his achievements, but the death and wounds of his friends and the people he killed.
He never complained. He never asked for sympathy. He never apologized for sleeping with the lights on.
Breath taking and Heart Breaking...

If you could sum up The Price of Valor in three words, what would they be?
An honest appraisal.Who was your favorite character and why?
That would have to be Audie.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book made me think about a different time when people were certainly different, notice I didnt necessarily say better, but very different.I was born in 1965 and even I feel that our country and people changed has much in that decade as in the 100 years before this time. Audie was definitely a man from the pre 1965 era, who never quite fit in after the war, and like so many warriors, was never comfortable with the fame his service earned for him. I often wonder what would happen in America if we were faced by an enemy such as Japan or Germany. I wonder how todays soldier would react to three qaurters of his or her unit being wiped out in a few minutes, or how the general public would react to the sacrifices required of it in such a conflict. And then I think the soldiers , sailors and airman would eventually adapt and overcome, and as for the public...well...still I wonder.Any additional comments?
BEST NARRATOR EVER!!!!!!!....hour after hour of proper pronunciation and no fake drama or imitations...very encouraging!!!!!Great little book, Great Big Man
