From the publisher:
"While much of America remained divided by segregation, Tom Hudner and Jesse Brown 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."
