In the tradition of #1 New York Times bestsellers like Unbroken,
Boys on the Boat, and Band of Brothers, No Surrender is an
unforgettable story of a father's extraordinary acts of valor in
World War II and a son's thrilling journey to discover them?an epic
narrative of bravery, compassion, and faith. Like most members of
the Greatest Generation, Roddie Edmonds, a humble American soldier
from East Tennessee, rarely spoke about his experiences during
World War II. Not even his son Chris knew the full details of
Roddie's capture at the Battle of the Bulge or his captivity at
Stalag IXA, a Nazi POW camp. But when Chris's daughter was assigned
a family history project, Chris reread Roddie's wartime diaries,
which set in motion a series of life-changing events. Called to
learn his father's story with a renewed sense of passion and
purpose, Chris embarked on a years-long journey, interviewing
surviving POWs under Roddie's command, and retracing his father's
footsteps, from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where a boyish Roddie
transformed into a seasoned leader of men, to the patch of grass
near Ziegenhain, Germany, where he stared evil in the eye and dared
a Nazi to shoot. Along with New York Times bestselling author
Douglas Century, Chris Edmonds takes us to the front lines of this
inspiring multigenerational story, revealing in gripping,
novelistic detail Roddie's previously untold heroism-and the
lasting effects his bravery had on the lives of thousands, then and
now. "What's most remarkable about my journey to discover what my
father did in the Second World War," Chris writes, was "the
realization that any one of us has the untapped potential to do
something incredibly courageous. . . . We all have the potential to
change the world simply by standing up for what's right." A shining
example of the transformative and redemptive power of moral
courage, No Surrender is a celebration of faith, family, and
service-the very characteristics that define us today.
