Sgt. York His Life, Legend, and Legacy

I was familiar with Alvin York, before reading this book. There was a remarkable film done about him years ago, and that was my first introduction to this hero.

In this book, we learn more about Alvin York, and the heroics that catapulted him into fame. While during the war, he didn't want to kill anyone, but he did what he had to, to keep his men alive.

From the backwoods to the battlefield, this book fleshes out the man, and his character. If you were not familiar with Alvin York before, this is definitely a book that you need to read.
