From the author of the Sunday Times bestseller A Higher Call comes the overwhelming true story of the most incredible rescue mission you will ever read.

***NOW A MAJOR FILM, STARRING JONATHAN MAJORS AND GLEN POWELL***

''This is aerial drama at its best. Fast, powerful, and moving.'' Erik Larson

Devotion tells the gripping story of the US Navy''s most famous aviator duo - Tom Hudner, a white New Englander, and Jesse Brown, a black sharecropper''s son from Mississippi. Against all odds, Jesse beat back racism to become the Navy''s first black aviator. Against all expectations, Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighter planes for his country. While much of America remained divided by segregation, the two became wingmen in Fighter Squadron 32 and went on to fight side-by-side in the Korean War.

Adam Makos follows Tom and Jesse''s dramatic journey to the war''s climatic battle at the Chosin Reservoir, where they fought to save an entire division of trapped Marines. It was here that one of them was faced with an unthinkable choice - and discovered how far they would go to save a friend.
