About this audiobook

During the night of February 3, 1943, a torpedo shattered the side of the SS Dorchester off the coast of Greenland. The 904 men aboard, who would certainly have drowned, were saved, thanks to the tremendous bravery of the four chaplains aboard: the Reverend George L. Fox (Methodist), the Reverend Clark V. Poling (Dutch Reformed), Father John P. Washington (Roman Catholic), and Rabbi Alexander Goode (Jewish) who distributed life jackets to the troops, including, in the end, their own. No Greater Glory is a riveting story of four men of God who came from different backgrounds but found common ground in courageously serving God and country.
