Description: No Surrender by Christopher Edmonds, Douglas Century Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In the tradition of #1 New York Times bestsellers like Unbroken, Boys on the Boat, and Band of Brothers, No Surrender is an unforgettable story of a fathers extraordinary acts of valor in World War II and a sons thrilling journey to discover theman epic narrative of bravery, compassion, and faith.Like most members of the Greatest Generation, Roddie Edmonds, a humble American soldier from East Tennessee, rarely spoke about his experiences during World War II. Not even his son Chris knew the full details of Roddies capture at the Battle of the Bulge or his captivity at Stalag IXA, a Nazi POW camp. But when Chriss daughter was assigned a family history project, Chris reread Roddies wartime diaries, which set in motion a series of life-changing events.Called to learn his fathers story with a renewed sense of passion and purpose, Chris embarked on a years-long journey, interviewing surviving POWs under Roddies command, and retracing his fathers footsteps, from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where a boyish Roddie transformed into a seasoned leader of men, to the patch of grass near Ziegenhain, Germany, where he stared evil in the eye and dared a Nazi to shoot.Along with New York Times bestselling author Douglas Century, Chris Edmonds takes us to the front lines of this inspiring multigenerational story, revealing in gripping, novelistic detail Roddies previously untold heroism—and the lasting effects his bravery had on the lives of thousands, then and now. "Whats most remarkable about my journey to discover what my father did in the Second World 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 whats right."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 define us today. Author Biography Douglas Century recently collaborated on two New York Times Bestsellers: William Queens Under and Alone and, with Rick Cowan, Takedown: The Fall of the Last Mafia Empire (a finalist for the 2003 Edgar Award in Best Fact Crime).
