About this ebook

 “When we go into combat, Doss, you’re not comin’ back alive. I’m gonna shoot you myself!”

The men of the 77th Infantry Division couldn’t fathom why Private Desmond T. Doss would venture into the horrors of World War II without a single weapon to defend himself.

“You’re nothing but a coward!” they said. But the soft-spoken medic insisted that his mission was to heal, not kill.

When Desmond knelt by his bunk to pray, his fellow soldiers hurled boots and insults at him. Even his commander wanted to throw him out of the army. But when his unit arrived on the battlefield, the intrepid medic quickly proved he was no coward.

One terrifying day in the vicious battle for Okinawa, dozens of Desmond’s former tormenters lay wounded and bleeding atop Hacksaw Ridge. As Japanese bullets rained down, their fate seemed hopeless.

Could one unarmed man save their lives?

This page-turner will keep you riveted to your seat as you discover how Desmond Doss became the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor. Desmond’s dramatic true story of integrity, redemption, and heroism will inspire you to live by the courage of your convictions.

Ratings and reviews

5 stars for the book, I'm sure it's great, and if I ever get to read or listen to it I'll probably keep it 5 stars, maybe 4, and add to this review. But what I don't get is why this book on here is $28.72. That makes no sense. I don't care if it wasn't massed produced or whatever, that is way to much money for this.

Desmond Doss was such a great man. His strong faith in God is amazing. His total trust in God set a good example to all Christians in the world. The movie is great too. I love his story full of love and faith. I constantly reflected on my own journey with God when reading his story.

I love the Movie because I like war and I like Doss did not give up and he going to get all the people that were hurt and he tells God Let me get one more and he saved all his friends that were hurt and would not give up.
