Synopsis
In a major new biography, veteran military historian and WWII biographer, Charles Whiting combines both talents to tell the tale of the barefoot Texan share-cropper's son, who could barely read and write, but became not only the US Army's most decorated soldier in its 250-year history, but also the star of forty Paramount produced movies: most of which are shown on TV screens around the world to this very day. He was that last 'American Hero', who did as President Kennedy proclaimed, "Don't ask what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."Book Details
