Hardback. Zustand: Good. 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.…
