520 For readers of Unbroken comes an unforgettable tale of
courage from America's "forgotten war" in Korea, by the
New York Times bestselling author of A Higher Call.
Devotion tells the inspirational story of the U.S. Navy's
most famous aviator duo, Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign
Jesse Brown, and the Marines they fought to defend. A
white New Englander from the country-club scene, Tom
passed up Harvard to fly fighters for his country. An
African American sharecropper's son from Mississippi,
Jesse became the navy's first black carrier pilot,
defending a nation that wouldn't even serve him in a bar.
While much of America remained divided by segregation,
Jesse and Tom joined forces as wingmen in Fighter Squadron
32. Adam Makos takes us into the cockpit as these bold
young aviators cut their teeth at the world's most
dangerous job--landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier-
-a line of work that Jesse's young wife, Daisy, struggles
to accept. Deployed to the Mediterranean, Tom and Jesse
meet the Fleet Marines, boys like PFC "Red" Parkinson, a
farm kid from the Catskills. In between war games in the
sun, the young men revel on the Riviera, partying with
millionaires and even befriending the Hollywood starlet
Elizabeth Taylor. Then comes the war no one expected, in
faraway Korea. Devotion takes us soaring overhead with Tom
and Jesse, and into the foxholes with Red and the Marines
as they battle a North Korean invasion. As the fury of the
fighting escalates and the Marines are cornered at the
Chosin Reservoir, Tom and Jesse fly, guns blazing, to try
and save them. When one of the duo is shot down behind
enemy lines and pinned in his burning plane, the other
faces an unthinkable choice: watch his friend die or
attempt history's most audacious one-man rescue mission. A
tug-at-the-heartstrings tale of bravery and selflessness,
Devotion asks: How far would you go to save a friend?
Advance praise for Devotion "My great respect for Tom
Hudner knows no bounds. He is a true hero; and in reading
this book, you will understand why I feel that way."--
President George H.W. Bush "This is aerial drama at its
best--fast, powerful, and moving."--Erik Larson, New York
Times bestselling author of Dead Wake "Lovingly rendered
and meticulously researched, here is a tale of true
friendship across the racial divide. Though it concerns a
famously cold battle in the Cold War, make no mistake:
Devotion will warm your heart." --Hampton Sides, New York
Times bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers and In the
Kingdom of Ice "At last, the Korean War has its epic, a
story that will stay with you long after you close this
book." --Eric Blehm, New York Times bestselling author of
Fearless and Legend From the Hardcover edition.
