Ebook About THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER • SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • From America’s “forgotten war” in Korea comes an unforgettable tale of courage by the 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?Praise for Devotion“Riveting . . . a meticulously researched and moving account.”—USA Today “An inspiring tale . . . portrayed by Makos in sharp, fact-filled prose and with strong reporting.”—Los Angeles Times “[A] must-read.”—New York Post “Stirring.”—Parade “A masterful storyteller . . . [Makos brings] Devotion to life with amazing vividness. . . . [It] reads like a dream. The perfectly paced story cruises along in the fast lane—when you’re finished, you’ll want to start all over again.”—Associated Press“A delight to read . . . Devotion is a story you will not forget.”—The Washington Times“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“Though it concerns a famously cold battle in the Korean 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 LegendBook Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice Review :
My late father, US Navy LTJG William H. Finn, was a 22-year old Naval Aviator who flew F4U Corsairs with VF-871 off the USS Essex (CV-9) in the Korean War. I have always been immensely proud of him for his wartime military service, and this book underscored many of the reasons why. The brave and selfless service of our veterans, especially those who served in combat, was exemplified in this book. Thomas Hudner was not only a brave and incredibly gutsy flyer, he was also a man of deep personal conviction toward his fellow man, despite the color of his skin. I am a voracious reader, and in my 63-year lifetime I have only read less than a dozen books that I truly savored from start to finish. The story in and of itself is unbelievably inspiring, but the manner in which Adam Makos tells it is particularly skillful. To make the experience last, I purposely limited my reading of Devotion to ten pages a day, and I savored its every word. One of the best books I have ever read, period! As a former Marine who really enjoyed Makos’ Voices of the Pacific book, and A Higher Call- I was very eager to read Devotion for the Marine element it promised to deliver, as well as the full story behind Captain Hudner’s dramatic rescue attempt.This book reads a lot like A Higher Call. It’s written in an immersive style that puts you INTO the story alongside the characters. It’s not a military textbook and Makos comes right out and says it’s written in a way for a greater audience to enjoy, so don’t expect a ton of military jargon.One of the best things about Devotion is that it's more than just an aviation story as the cover suggests. Yes, the story of Tom, Jesse and the Navy pilots is fascinating, yet the story of the ground pounders is equally enthralling. Makos not only follows the pilots, but also a small group of Marines as they practice war in the Med during the summer of 1950, and then go to war in the epic Chosin Reservoir battle.It is this changing perspective from the pilots to the men on the ground that makes this book so much more than just the story of Tom and Jesse.I highly recommend Devotion for every type of reader- to former Marines like myself, all the way to my 30 year old Granddaughter who will be getting a copy for Christmas. We owe it to the men who died in Korea to have their story told and remembered just like those of World War II.
