Almost 830,000 Texans donned uniforms during WWII, and over 23,000 of them died for their country. Using archival photographs, this book portrays the highlights of the war years, a cross-section of a valiant and triumphant era for the eastern third of Texas. Includes Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier; Sam Ddealey, the most decorated sailor; Dwight Eisenhower, Claire Chennault, Admiral Nimitz, and Texas A&M University which provided more men in the armed forces than any other school in the nation.
