Publisher Description: A privileged, hell-raising youth who had greatly embarrassed his family--and especially his war-hero father--by being dismissed from West Point, Michael J. Daly would go on to display selfless courage and heroic leadership on the battlefields of Europe during World War II. Starting as an enlisted man and rising through the ranks to become a captain and company commander, Daly's devotion to his men and his determination to live up to the ideals taught to him by his father led him to extraordinary acts of bravery on behalf of others, resulting in three Silver Stars, a Bronze Star with "V" attachment for valor, two Purple Hearts, and finally, the Medal of Honor. |
