Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Although it centers around the friendship of two Naval aviators, Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner, there are many others stories being told in the book. It revolved around a general knowledge quiz mixed with a game of darts, and it was made on a budget only slightly higher than the one I've awarded myself for this review.
It is based on the old testament book and prophet, Habakkuk.

My Devotion 2020, pp.
Excellent story recommended from junior high on up.4.5 as the daughter of an Air Force bombardier who fought in the Korean and the second world war, I found this book tragically compelling. Thank you so much for this book and the true history lesson. At the same time, Makos tells the tale of the 1st Marine Division during the battle of the Chosin Reservoir, although this doesn’t get as much space (the stories do, fortunately, intersect).A wonderfully researched historical read about friendships that cross barriers during a time in America's history when there were racial barriers. The tale of Hudner and Brown is told in the form of flashbacks, meaning Makos goes into detail regarding their personal lives and the origins of their color-blind friendship. If I had known what I was in for by reading this book I would have dropped the other one mid-way through and devoured this one! It melted my heart. At first I was unsure about this book because I thought the story will be underpinned by the racial issues of that time, but I decided to buy it because of Makos' great first book that is one of the best books I have read. It sat on my book shelf unopened for at least another 10 days before I finished the other book and finally had a chance to crack the cover of this one. This book was written with my former pastor, spiritual mentor and friend, Stan Winder. For those of you who complain about audios that are performed, this is the audiobook for you. His path from a childhood in Mississippi to war hero in Korea was made difficult by racism and prejudice. 0804176582
Makos’ style is immersive and aimed at a broad audience.
Hoffman's narration was technical and dry with zero emoting at all.
I found my mind often wondering and having to rewind several times, and even then I couldn't keep my attention on the story for very long.Back in the 80's, there was a gameshow on British TV called Bullseye.
It gave me an adventure to be a part of. The other book was very good and commendable, but this one wilI was engaged in finishing a fine book of historical fiction set during the closing months of the American Civil War when "Devotion" appeared in my mail box. Get ready for some of the best...Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and SacrificeDevotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice.Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice.Another winner by Adam Makos. I deeply enjoyed reading about the friendship of Tom Hudner and Jesse Brown during the Korean War as pilots.
His path from a childhood in Mississippi to war hero in Korea was made difficult by racism and prejudice. It is a war I will never forget.Not as good as Makos's last book because the source material was not as good. Published A lesser man might have quit, and many would have been embittered by the experience. I certainly will not forget these brave men and am looking forward to the pictures and video of your visit to North Korea with Lieutenant Thomas Hudner Jr. Devotion was the third of four books by Makos that I read back-to-back.
I enjoyed reading the other stories of friendship between the soldiers of the warI have been given an opportunity to review the book “Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice” by Adam Makos. Read KJV and NIV side by side. I was given the opportunity to read "Devotion" through an advanced reader's copy from a Goodreads give-away. It honors those extraordinary man who fought in what is oftentimes called the forgotten war. The other crash landed his plane to attempt to save his buddy.
"Devotion" is a well-written and researched book about the Korean War. How did these two become such great friends?
First book I've ever read about the Korean War.
