More than fifty years later, this classic wartime memoir is just as gripping as it was then. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesperate to see action but rejected by both the marines and paratroopers because he was too short, Murphy eventually found a home with the infantry. He fought through campaigns in Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. Although still under twenty-one years old on V-E Day, he was credited with having killed, captured, or wounded 240 Germans. He emerged from the war as America's most decorated soldier, having received twenty-one medals, including our highest military decoration, the Congressional Medal of Honor. \u003ci\u003eTo Hell and Back\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerfully real portrayal of American GI's at war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holt, Henry \u0026 Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107431760112,"sku":"9781466826380","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466826380_p0.jpg?v=1769891059","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466826380","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
