Alvin York: From Reluctant Warrior to Hero of the Great War
In this emotional and gripping episode of Stories of the Great War, we follow the incredible true story of Alvin York—a humble farmer from Tennessee whose deep religious convictions initially led him to oppose fighting in the war. But when faced with battle in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, York displayed extraordinary bravery, capturing over a hundred enemy soldiers almost single-handedly. Through vivid accounts and personal reflections, we'll explore how York's courage, humility, and faith made him one of America's greatest war heroes, forever shaping his legacy in the history of World War I.
