Only after my father died did I learn what he and his buddies had done on Iwo Jima. After his fathers' death, Chris Edmonds journeyed across the US and to Germany to discover his father's heroic past. No Surrender is a quintessential American story of bravery, compassion, and righteousness told by an admiring son., In this page-turning memoir, Edmonds and Century chronicle the WWII experiences of Edmond's late father, Army Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds...[and] have skillfully transformed war records, interviews, and archival data into a dramatic account...More than a story of brothers in arms, this work is a son's labor of love., "There's perhaps no greater untold story to come out of World War II. It's a heck of a father-son story, but it's also a tale of the power of one man to do something selfless that forever changes a life." -- Newsweek "After his father's death, Chris Edmonds journeyed across the US and to Germany to discover his father's heroic past. No Surrender is a quintessential American story of bravery, compassion, and righteousness told by an admiring son." -- James Bradley, New York Times bestselling author of Flags of Our Fathers "Roddie Edmonds is a hero for our age--or any age. His story of principled defiance in the face of evil is an inspiration and a challenge. In No Surrender, Chris Edmonds and Douglas Century have given us the one righteous man whose goodness spares us all." -- Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11 "A fascinating war story... a you-are-there portrait of the horrors of war and the incredible effect one selfless person can have on hundreds." -- Kirkus Reviews "In this page-turning memoir, Edmonds and Century chronicle the WWII experiences of Edmond's late father, Army Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds...[and] have skillfully transformed war records, interviews, and archival data into a dramatic account...More than a story of brothers in arms, this work is a son's labor of love." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review), Roddie Edmonds is a hero for our age--or any age. His story of principled defiance in the face of evil is an inspiration and a challenge.

Synopsis
In the tradition of #1 New York Times bestsellers like Unbroken, Boys on the Boat, Band of Brothers, and Schindler's List, No Surrender is an unforgettable story of a father's extraordinary acts of valor in the treacherous final days of World War II and a son's thrilling journey to discover them--an epic narrative of bravery, compassion, and faith. In No Surrender, Chris Edmonds tells the inspiring and unforgettable story of his father, Roddie, a humble American soldier and his incredible acts of heroism in the waning days of World War II. Captured at the Battle of the Bulge, Roddie Edmonds was the highest-ranking American solider at Stalag 9A, a POW camp near Ziegenhain, Germany. A simple, soft-spoken man, Roddie was also a man of deep inner strength and unwavering Christian faith. Driven to the limits of endurance, he stared down the barrel of his Nazi captor's pistol and refused to say which of his fellow prisoners of war were Jewish, staring evil in the eye and daring the Nazi to shoot. Roddie's act of defiance spared the lives of as many as 200 Jews and the lives of the infantryman under his command. Inspired by his father's story, Chris Edmonds embarked on a years-long journey, interviewing surviving POWs under Roddie's command, and retracing Roddie's footsteps to learn about his unspoken bravery during World War II. Along with New York Times bestselling author Douglas Century, Edmonds takes us to the front lines of this inspiring multi-generational story, revealing in gripping, novelistic detail Roddie's previously untold heroism--and the lasting effects his bravery had on the lives of thousands, then and now. "What was most remarkable about my journey to discover what my father did during the war," Chris writes, "was the realization that any one of us has the untapped potential to do something incredibly courageous. We all have the potential to change the world simply by standing up for what's right." Spanning seven decades and linking a sprawling cast of heroes from every corner of the country, No Surrender is an utterly compelling page-turner that recounts major events of World War II and United States Army initiatives that helped the Allies win the war - from the Battle of the Bulge to the massacre at Malmedy to and the now-little-known Army Specialized Training Program, which trained "geeks" or "Quiz Kids" from all over the country--Bob Dole, Kurt Vonnegut, Mel Brooks, and Henry Kissinger among them--to fight the Nazis in the European theater. A shining example of the transformative and redemptive power of moral courage, No Surrender is a celebration of faith, family, and service, the very characteristics that continue to define us today., Spanning seven decades and linking a sprawling cast of heroes from every corner of the country, No Surrender is an unforgettable story of a father's extraordinary acts of valor in the treacherous final days of World War II and a son's journey to discover them. Like most members of the Greatest Generation, Roddie Edmonds, a humble American soldier from East Tennessee, rarely spoke about his experiences during World War II. Not even his son Chris-who always considered his father a hero-knew the full details of Roddie's capture at the Battle of the Bulge or his captivity at Stalag IXA, a Nazi POW camp. But when Chris's daughter was assigned a family history project, Chris reread Roddie's wartime diaries, which set in motion a series of life-changing events. Called to learn his father's story with a renewed sense of passion and purpose, Chris embarked on a years-long journey, interviewing surviving POWs under Roddie's command, and retracing his father's footsteps, from Fort Jackson, Georgia, where a boyish Roddie transformed into a seasoned leader of men, to the patch of grass near Zeigenhein, Germany, where he stared evil in the eye and dared a Nazi to shoot. Chris Edmonds, along with New York Times bestselling author Douglas Century, takes us to the front lines of this inspiring multigenerational story, revealing in gripping, novelistic detail Roddie's previously untold heroism-and the lasting effects his bravery had on the lives of thousands, then and now.

- i***w (553)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe book would have been in the described condition except for the TWO glued stickers the seller placed on the cover which damaged the cover to remove them. Further, delivery was VERY SLOW, extending beyond the projected delivery date at the time of purchase. Price was good, and inside pages of the book appear to be good; it's just the damage done by the seller with their stickers.
