Biography - Audie Murphy: Great American Hero

If you are looking for the life of Audie Murphy, this would give it to you. It starts with his birth and childhood, and goes through to his death. It is very well covered in this biography. Lost of pictures and real film from the war and Hollywood.This is a VERY LONG film. We took about 3 days to get all the way through it. It was very interesting, but just felt like we wanted to take brakes during it. Of course we were only watching it in the evenings, but I'm sure if someone wanted to watch it all in one day, you could.

Audie Murphy was the most decorated soldier during World War II. He was a Texas boy and raised in poverty. He had difficulty getting accepted into the Military because of his young age and small stature. His older sister gave permission for him to enlist. He was accepted into the army at age 17 after being turned down by the other branches. He was a crack shot, due to his hunting game to feed his family. He received the Congressional Medal of Honor just before his 19th birthday, due to his actions on the battlefield. There is a museum with pictures and all his medals at Greenville TX. It is truly inspiring. He was in his 40's, when he died in a plane crash. He suffered from PTSD all his life from the horrors he saw during the war and slept with a gun under his pillow. My only complaint was the video was a little too short. The biography was inspiring and well worth the money. I would highly recommend this important piece of history.

I loved this book. Always been an admirer of Audie Murphy and after reading this I couldn’t believe the horribles of war, the way he had to deal with watching his friends die. This book gave me a better understanding of what it must have been like to go To war and how one deals with killing and deaths for one’s country. Couldn’t put this book down.

As a retired military member, I have to admire all that Audie Murphy did for his country and for his comrades. This is a well put together documentary, with lots of video and still photos, which reminds you that war, for the combat veteran, goes well beyond the battlefield.The documentary goes into Murphy's life after the war, and it touches your heart to think the war truly never left him. Murphy's sister is interviewed, and the movie does a great job of showing the life of this American Hero. It left me feeling very sad for Audie, as he gave so much, and suffered a great deal.

Dad loves it

I wish they had this back in the 50's when I was growing up. I was 8 when I first saw To Hell and Back and from then on Audie Murphy was on top of my list of hero's like Charles Bronson, John Wayne, Henry Fonda and Errol Flynn. Like Bronson, Audie was not only a real combat hero of WWII, but the ultimate real life hero. To bad the generation of today don't have people they can look up to like Audie, but only those a...hole rap crap and anti American hollywood figures of today. Old Hollywood were true Americans and even most of the famous actors served in WWII. Even the actresses like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford did their part to help the troops.

Got it for my friend. It is out for loan now. I am next in line.
