Brotherhood and Sacrifice - An Epic Story of Heroism

This story tugs at the heart. Two totally different backgrounds and yet their friendship was amazing. This needs to be read by all of those who do not know the meaning of true friendship and patriotism. These two are the type of people who founded this country. Our survival depends on the younger generation carrying the torch. I pray that this will happen.

On the grounds of the US Naval Academy in Annapolis stands a huge statue of Jesse Brown. Until now, I never understood the significance of the statute or his accomplishments. This is a great story of overcoming against the odds, friendship and what makes America great. This book goes in my Family library today.

The title is exactly right - an epic story.
The author does a very effective job pacing the combat narrative in such a way that it makes the reader feel like an eyewitness. Truly riveting. I highly recommend this book.

Adam Makos brings history alive for the reader. You have to read this story about friendship and heroism between two Navy fighter pilots during the Korean Conflict. It is spell binding and a page turner. I now have learned what it is like to fly a Corsair!

Just finished reading "Devotion". What the Marines went through in Korea! I am a former Marine and Viet Nam Combat Veteran. I have also bought and read "A Higher Call" about a year ago. Viet Nam Vets and Korean Vets have a lot in common. I encourage all many fellow vets to read Devotion. A truly great book!

As a veteran I have strong feelings about those who have serve and reverence for those that have all in their service. The events and stories touched me very deeply. It has strenghten my resolve to always be an example to others as the sacredness of this nation and its constitution.

Loved the beginning, middle interesting but would be even better if non relevant material were deleted. Love the action once battles began in Korea. Captivating, riveting and made my hands sweat! Could't put it down at end.

Devotion is a tribute to a selfless generation and a war that has long been forgotten. The author has brought to light one of many heartwarming tales of patriotism and the bond between soldiers. Well written and a pleasure to read. Adam Makos has once again reminded all of us of the sacrifices made without question and a time of greatness in our country .

This book is written in such a captivating way that it engulfs you. It is a superb portrayal of the men who fought and gave their lives
in the most difficult of circumstances. It really hurts me when I mention the Korean War and I am told it was just a conflict. This book finally
tells the other side of the Korean Conflict and the Chosin Resovoir. I have heard it called the forgotten war, believe me after you read this book
you will never forget.

Great true story about real heroes in a much forgotten war. You will not want to put this one down. Adam Makos is a wonderful story teller. This is the second book of his I have read and I look forward to the next.

I truly enjoyed this fast-paced book! I particularly liked that it is based on first-hand interviews with the characters. You will learn so much about what happened during the Korean War and the ending is very powerful!

A riveting read for anyone interested in history and inspirational stories! I was fascinated by the first person accounts of the fighting at Chosin Reservoir . The story of Jesse Brown and Thomas Hudner truly lives up to the title of the book!!

Devotion is a fantastic book-an interesting, dramatic, true story that was well written and researched. It has been a huge hit with my family. My husband is neck deep in it now, my sister-in-law loved it so much that she purchased a copy for her father who was a WWII vet, and he is a huge fan now too! A must read!

"Devotion" -- another great story from international bestselling author and military historian, Adam Makos, who brought us "A Higher Call". An incredible story of two brave naval aviators, who came from very different backgrounds, at a time when America was divided by segregation -- a white New Englander, and an African-American sharecropper's son, from Mississippi -- who fought together in the same fighter squadron in the Korean War. This is a must read, especially today, with race relations so strained in our country. Here is a a true story of two men's friendship, courage, and love for each other that knew no bounds. A great read -- and it would make a terrific movie!! I'd give it more than five stars if I could.

This book by Adam Makos is extremely well written as are his other books. It will make smile, laugh and cry all the while telling a wonderful story of friendship, comradeship, honor and valor. To our veterans my sincere thanks. Looking forward to Adams next project.
