Description
Sergeant Alvin York's remarkable life is a testament to the power of conviction and faith. From his early days as a marksman and hard-drinking brawler, to his dramatic New Year's conversion that changed the course of his life, York's story is one of transformation and heroism.
Single-handedly dispatching two dozen Germans and capturing 132 in the closing days of World War I, York earned the Medal of Honor and a ticker tape parade. Yet he refused to cash in on his fame, insisting that "Uncle Sam's uniform ain't for sale." This gripping new account draws on exclusive interviews with York's surviving children, battlefield eyewitness reports, and original film studio archives.
Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. This book is part of that series, offering a fresh reminder of the legacy of one of America's great Christian patriots.
