To Hell And Back.

AUDIE MURPHY

Publication: Henry Holt and Company, 1949, New York

First edition. Inked inscription on the front fly leaf: "2-17-49 To Mrs Dorothy L. Slaughter with best wishes, Audie Murphy." Fine, bright, tight copy with red top edges bright and sharp, in a spectacular bright facsimile dust jacket. This is a one-of-a-kind autobiography of a war hero who served in Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany during World War II. Audie Murphy was a Texas boy who became America's most decorated soldier of World War II, having received twenty-one medals, including our highest award, the Medal of Honor. In 1955 a movie version based on the autobiography of Audie Murphy's life was produced. Audie Murphy starred as himself along with Jack Kelly as Kerrigan, David Janssen as Lt. Lee, Denver Pyle as Thompson, and a cast of many others. In the story, Murphy portrays a brutal, harsh struggle to survive, where the only thing that matters is keeping oneself and one's friends alive. A spectacular copy of an important World War II book and an increasingly difficult title. Audie Murphy autographs are uncommon and the book is an exceptional copy with the dust jacket in facsimile.
