Why read it?
1 author picked Against All Odds as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book made me think—and rethink—what I thought I knew about battlefield heroism. Nobody “wins” the Medal of Honor, nor is it “awarded.” It is earned under fire, often at the cost of one’s life and always in the face of ferocious hostile resistance. What sort of men do such deeds?

From Daniel's list on American combat leaders in World War II.
