Publisher's summary

As singular as Corporal York’s heroism and resourcefulness on the battlefield were, they were all the more remarkable in light of his former opposition to war on religious grounds. His was the unshakable conviction and resolve of a convert, having traded, on his knees, a wild, remorseless life for one of sincere Christian piety in the peaceful stillness of a New Year’s dawn nearly four years before. And yet, he was persuaded that spiritual victories must sometimes be gained through wars of the flesh. His unparalleled heroism on the WWI battlefield was the precursor to a lifetime of self-sacrifice to bring quality education to the children of his home area.

Great Presentation of a Great Life Lived

Alvin York's WWI heroic actions are discussed first in this book. Then then book provides the story of York's life discussing his early wild days followed by his Christian conversion, his own lack off education which led to a life long effort to help mountain children be efucated, his family life, his patriotism, his extended long term problems with the IRS, and his overall.positive impact on.the people of the state of TN. .I enjoyed the book from start to finish.

Evan's Review

Saw the movie years ago. Truly an American Hero. Did know the story after the war. I like what the narrator said at the end of the book about being a hero not so much a war hero but hero in the way he lived his life.
