Desmond Doss : conscientious objector : the story of an unlikely hero / Frances M. Doss.

Doss, Frances M. (Frances May), 1922- (author.).

Summary:

"Infantry men who once ridiculed and scoffed at Desmond's simple faith and refusal to carry a weapon owed their lives to him. In the midst of a fierce firefight on Okinawa that felled approximately 75 men from the 1st Battalion, Private Doss refused to seek cover and carried his stricken comrades to safety one by one. This and other heroic acts earned him the highest honor America can bestow on one of her sons, the Congressional Medal of Honor" --Amazon.com.
