Before he was old enough to vote, Audie Murphy had fought in World War II and become the most-decorated American hero--a position he still holds. Despite a background of poverty and little formal schooling, Audie Murphy became an Army lieutenant, who led his troops on dangerous missions, including his single-handedly holding off a German regiment while he stood atop a burning tank. After the war, when he returned to the United States, he suffered from post-traumatic-stress-syndrome, a condition which affected his family life and his career. Arriving in San Antonio, Texas, on June 8, 1945, Audie immediately became America's sweetheart and soon found himself starring in over 44 films, mostly westerns. Married twice, he had two sons whom he adored. Although he earned big dollars from his films, money was always a problem, causing Audie to look for new ways to increase his income. It was on one of these scouting trips that he lost his life when the plane in which he was riding flew straight into Brushy Mountain on a foggy day. Audie is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Peggy Caravantes is the author of An American in Texas: the Story of Sam Houston and Petticoat Spies: Six Women Spies of the Civil War. She lives in San Antonio, Texas.

In the world of Western films, Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea, and Audie Murphy have frequently been overlooked in favor of names like Roy Rogers and John Wayne. Yet these three actors played a crucial role in the changing environment of the post-World War II Western, and, in the process, made many excellent middle-budget films that are still a pleasure to watch.

This account of these three Western stars' careers begins in 1946 when Scott and McCrea committed themselves to the Western roles they would play for nearly twenty years. Murphy, who joined them in 1946, would continue his Western career for a few years after his cohorts rode into the film sunset. Arranged chronologically, and balanced among the three actors, the text concludes with Audie Murphy's last Western in 1967. Covering both the personal and professional lives of these three Hollywood cowboys, the book provides both their stories and the story of a Hollywood whose attitude toward the Western was in a time of transition and transformation. The text is complimented by nearly 70 photographs and a filmography for each of the three

A former arts and entertainment journalist, Robert Nott has spent the last ten years as a freelance writer and researcher. He lives in Sante Fe, New Mexico.

Stars in Khaki: Movie Actors in the Army and the Air Services

James E., Jr. Wise, Paul, III Wilderson, Paul W. Wilderson

U.S. Naval Institute

Amazon.com (Search on the Title)

A companion to the successful volumes on the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, Stars in Blue and Stars in the Corps, this book is filled with celebrity profiles of motion picture stars who served in the U.S. Army and air services from World War I through the Vietnam War. Many readers will discover for the first time details of the contributions made by Audie Murphy, Charlton Heston, Jimmy Stewart and many others. Most remarkable is the large number of celebrities who chose to serve their country in a military capacity--especially during World War II--instead of continuing their lives of luxury in Hollywood. With the previous two books, this work completes the picture of the military experience of movie stars in the United States.

This story begins in November 1941 and recounts B Company�s march through French Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, and Southern France. From there, it traces the company�s advance over the Vosges Mountains, through the Colmar Pocket and across Germany to Austria. For many of the B Company veterans, the battles left lasting impressions on their memories. They spoke vividly of Casablanca, Licata, Mt. Rotundo and Bloody Anzio, where they held the beachhead for four brutal months. They related with pride the operations in the Colmar Pocket, the smash through the vaunted Siegfried Line and the capture of Salzburg in May 1945, which led to the ultimate surrender of the German Third Reich. B Company was comprised of men from a multitude of backgrounds. They were farmers, grocery clerks, mechanics, high school, and college graduates. They hailed from different geographical regions throughout the United States. Most of them were between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. They were either drafted, or enlisted on their own. Not all of them wanted to be there, but they accepted it as part of their duty. The men from B Company didn�t see themselves as heroes; they went to war because it was the patriotic thing to do. Deservedly so, the starring role in this story is played by Audie Murphy. However, the major focus of the book is on the spirit of B Company. It is the author�s hope to reveal the true thoughts, words, and souls of these brave men so that the reader will identify with them in a personal way. This is the story of the B Company foot soldiers�a moving and vivid account told primarily by the characters themselves, through their own eyes and their own experiences. This book is the culmination of a three-year study on B Company. In his pursuit to arrive as near as possible to the truth, the author has thoroughly examined both secondary and primary sources, including: war memoirs, letters, journals, diaries, witness statements, and interviews with B Company veterans. He�s also included several illustrations from his extensive collection of maps and photographs, many of which were personally shot on location.
