About this book
This memoir chronicles the Tennessee soldier's journey from conscientious objector to decorated World War I hero.
In the 1941 film Sergeant York, actor Gary Cooper played a real American soldier, Sgt. Alvin C. York, as he served in World War I. The film garnered an Academy Award for Cooper and further notoriety for York, an American hero.
This book, Sergeant York and the Great War, chronicles York's early years in the backwoods of northern Tennessee until he was drafted into the US Army to serve overseas during World War I. Also featured is York's war diary, detailing life in the trenches.Frequently asked questions
