The Coward Who Became America's Greatest Hero - Audie Murphy's Impossible Transformation

Описание: The Coward Who Became America’s Greatest Hero: Audie Murphy’s Impossible Transformation

He was rejected by the Marines. Rejected by the Navy. Rejected by the paratroopers.
A 5’5”, 112-pound Texas farm kid the military didn’t want.

Three years later, he would become the most decorated American soldier of World War II, earning every U.S. combat valor award — including the Medal of Honor — after single-handedly holding off an entire German company from atop a burning tank destroyer.

But behind the legend was a troubled young man haunted by poverty, trauma, and war.
This is the full, unfiltered, real life story of Audie Murphy — the “coward” everyone underestimated… who became the hero America needed.
