The Price of Valor

the long version

When he was seventeen years old, Audie Murphy falsified his birth records so he could enlist in the Army and help defeat the Nazis. When he was nineteen, he single-handedly turned back the German Army at the Battle of Colmar Pocket by climbing on top of a tank with a machine gun -- a moment immortalized in the classic film 'To Hell and Back', starring Audie himself. In the first biography covering his entire life, the better-than-fiction story of Audie Murphy--the most decorated hero of WWII, celebrated movie star, and eccentric Texan--is brought to a new generation.
