Alvin C. York (1887-1964) - a devout Christian, conscientious objector, and hesitant hero of World Battle I - is one of America's most famous and celebrated military. York is credited with the capture of 132 German military on Oct 8, 1918, in the Meuse-Argonne region of France - a deed for which he was honored the Congressional Medal of Honor. At war's end, the marketing glorified York's bravery, however, many members of the German navy and a soldier from his own product cast aspersions on his wartime heroics. Historians continue steadily to debate whether York has received more acknowledgement than he deserves. In Alvin York, Douglas V. Mastriano sorts fact from myth in the first full-length biography of York in generations. He meticulously examines York's youth in the hills of east Tennessee, his service in the Great Battle, and his return to a peaceful civilian life dedicated to charity. By reviewing artifacts recovered from the battlefield using armed forces terrain research, forensic research, and research in both German and American archives, Mastriano reconstructs the situations of Oct 8th and corroborates the recorded accounts.
