This book tells the extraordinary story of a man who defied all odds to prove that heroism isn’t about weapons—it’s about compassion, integrity, and selfless service.</p><p>Desmond Doss wasn’t your typical soldier.

Un hombre que estaba dispuesto a dar la vida por sus compañeros y no tocar ningún arma...OS RECOMIENDO que la leáis, veras como en situaciones difíciles Dios puede ayudarte si le eres fiel.
Trata de un soldado que no usó armas y salvó muchas vidas. Recomendado. Muy bueno
Debo decir que esto es uno de los mejores libros que he leído en mi vida, es un libro que tienes que leer si o si, aparte en un complemento perfecto antes de ver la película de "Hasta el ultimo hombre". 100 de 100.
El mismo libro del que fue inspirada la película "hasta el último hombre". En el libro se cuenta la gran historia de Desmond en la guerra pero se enfoca más en lo que pasó a lo largo de su vida.
