NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - THE BASIS FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE - A "riveting" (USA Today) true tale of courage during America's "forgotten war" in Korea, from the author of A Higher Call and Spearhead

"In the spirit of Unbroken and The Boys in the Boat comes Devotion."--Associated Press

"Aerial drama at its best--fast, powerful, and moving."--Erik Larson

Devotion tells the inspirational story of the U.S. Navy's most famous aviator duo, Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign Jesse Brown, and the Marines they fought to defend. A white New Englander from the country-club scene, Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighters for his country. An African American sharecropper's son from Mississippi, Jesse became the navy's first Black carrier pilot, defending a nation that wouldn't even serve him in a bar. While much of America remained divided by segregation, Tom and Jesse joined forces as wingmen in Fighter Squadron 32.

Devotion takes us soaring overhead with these bold young aviators and into the foxholes with the Marines as they battle a North Korean invasion. As the fury of the fighting escalates and the Marines are cornered at the Chosin Reservoir, Tom and Jesse fly, guns blazing, to try to save them. When one of the duo is shot down behind enemy lines, the other embarks on one of history's most audacious one-man rescue missions.

An unforgettable story of bravery and selflessness, Devotion asks: How far would you go to save a friend?
