( ) From a historical point of view, this book probably deserves a 5-star. This man is a military hero for doing everything possible to help win the war. I love American history. But I cannot say that I love this book. It is graphic. It is saturated with foul language. It is down-to-earth and does not mince words. When I read a book, I hope to develop some sort of connection with the characters---to be able to sympathize with them or cheer them on. I could not do so with this book. It is far beyond my realm of comprehension. I have no idea what it is like to see the brutality of war day in and day out. I have no idea what it is like to watch people die. So I do apologize for rating this a two-star book, but I honestly can't say that I enjoyed this book and I certainly won't reread it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The time is 1943, the place is Sicily, and the event is the start of the most remarkable career of any American infantryman in the war. Audie Murphy was a desperately poor eighteen-year-old orphan when he joined the Army, nineteen when he first saw a buddy die from an enemy bullet and an enemy die from one of his own. By V-E day, he had killed at least 240 Germans, had single-handedly destroyed a German tank in one battle and held off six tanks in another, and had become the most decorated soldier in American history, winning every medal his country offered, including the Congressional Medal of Honor. Instantly recognized for its grim authenticity and its unblinking accounts of some of the most terrible fighting in the war, To Hell and Back became a bestseller and, in 1955, the basis for one of the most successful World War II films ever made, with Murphy playing himself.
