Audie Murphy films on VHS:
To Hell and Back The 1955 biopic starring Audie

No Name on the Bullet Jo (aka :"King
Two") highly recommends this riveting Western about a tranquil town torn apart by
distrust, fear, and paranoia. A notorious hired gunman comes to town with orders to kill
someone: but only he knows who his target is. Great script and one of Murphy's finest film
outings.
Audie Murphy books:
To Hell and Back by Audie Murphy
Originally published in 1949, To Hell and Back was a smash bestseller for
fourteen weeks and later became a major motion picture starring Audie Murphy as himself.
More than fifty years later, this classic wartime memoir is just as gripping as it was
then. Desperate to see action but rejected by both the marines and paratroopers because he
was too short, Murphy eventually found a home with the infantry. He fought through
campaigns in Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. Although still under twenty-one years old
on V-E Day, he was credited with having killed, captured, or wounded 240 Germans. He
emerged from the war as America's most decorated soldier, having received twenty-one
medals, including our highest military decoration, the Congressional Medal of Honor. To
Hell and Back is a powerfully real portrayal of American GIs at war.
