Praise only!
Sue Gossett tells very detailed about each and every one of the Murphy movies and that's fine, but the book is merely a praise of Audie Murphy and not a journalistic effort. Don't expect to find any criticism of any of the films here - and they were certainly not all good movies! Anyway, if you want to know about the plots, dates of shooting and so on in cronological order, then the book is OK. If you want a more realistic description of the movies, look for "The Last of the Cowboy Heroes".

A great way to remember Audie Murphy
I live in Melbourne, Australia.It is impossible to find anything on Audie Murphy in this country. When I saw this book advertised I just had to have a copy. I think it has been well presented with a very obvious show of respect for a man who deserves our respect. There are little snippets of background stories which are good, but I would have loved to have read more about Audie the person behind the scenes. The positive and the not-so-positive. It is through these stories and memories that we can get to know him. Nevertheless, the book has a special place in my library, and recently they have been showing a few more of his movies on pay T.V. I simply pull out the book and read the reviews. Thank you Sue Gossett. I am not disappointed.

This book is just great!
I have been a fan of AUDIE MURPHY, since I saw the movie "THE DUEL AT SILVER CREEK" in the late fifties at a theater in Denmark, it was not shown here until then, but living here, and collecting filmstars at that time was a very tough hobby, because we did not see much material. However, I was very happy to learn from a friend, that a book was finally written about him, and I must say, that it has everything. A complete film-biography, with a very good picture from each one of them, together with his efforts under WW2, and what followed of honours etc. Besides all that, the author has even included poems and songs written by Audie, just amazing! In all, a great book, told by a very good author. Can only be recommended to all AUDIE MURPHY fans!
