To Hell and Back

by Audie Murphy

An autobiographical account of the author of his World War II experiences in the European Theater of War. 2nd Lt. Audie Murphy (1925-1971) was the USA's most decorated WW2 soldier, and lied about his age to join the army. This book became a bestseller, and was the basis of the successful movie in which Murphy (who later became an actor) played himself.
