Description: 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.
