About the book
Life Jacket
THEY GAVE UP THEIR LIFE JACKETS FOR ALL OF US . . .
FOUR MEN…ONE IMPOSSIBLE DECISION..A FORGOTTEN STORY…A REDISCOVERED LEGACY
What can the self-sacrifice of four young chaplains who died in World War II teach us about our own lives?
That question began with a chance discovery in this award-winning author’s hometown cemetery and grew into a journey across America in search of the forgotten legacy of the Four Chaplains. Visiting memorials, interviewing Americans of many backgrounds and ages, and tracing the remarkable stories behind their final act of courage, author and journalist Peter Lovenheim explores how and why these men once inspired a nation—and what their extraordinary sacrifice means to us today.
Blending history, biography, and thoughtful reflection, this book invites readers to consider the enduring power of courage, sacrifice, and unity in a time when those virtues are needed more than ever.
