“Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice” is a book written by Adam Makos and tells the story of Ensign George H.W. Bush and Lieutenant Junior Grade John Delaney, two naval aviators who served together during World War II. The book is a powerful and moving account of their friendship, the sacrifices they made, and their devotion to their country.
The book begins with the story of Bush, who, at the young age of 18, decides to join the Navy and become a pilot. Makos does an excellent job of capturing the sense of excitement and adventure that young men like Bush felt as they prepared to go to war. The reader is quickly drawn into the story and can’t help but feel a sense of admiration and respect for the courage and determination of these young men.
As the story progresses, the reader is introduced to Delaney, who becomes Bush’s wingman and close friend. The two men share many dangerous and harrowing experiences together, including the day when Bush is shot down over the Pacific and Delaney risks his own life to rescue him. Makos does an excellent job of capturing the emotions of the men in these moments, and the reader can’t help but be moved by the deep bond of friendship that develops between them.
One of the book’s strengths is Makos’s ability to weave together the personal stories of Bush and Delaney with the larger historical context of the war. The reader is given a glimpse into the brutal realities of war and the sacrifices that were made by so many young men and women during this time. The book is also a tribute to the men and women who served and fought for their country, and it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices they made and the debt we owe them.
In conclusion, “Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice” is a powerful and moving book that tells the story of two young men who served their country during World War II. The book is an excellent tribute to the men and women who fought and served during this time, and it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices they made and the debt we owe them.
