Beyond that, the human threats of betrayal, capture, torture, and death. And, finally, he had to overcome self-doubt, struggle with the despair of burying comrades, deal with friction among his fellow American soldiers, and find a way to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut if conflict reveals character, Conner showed himself to be a man apart. Inspired by an unlikely alliance with a tribe of arrow-shooting pygmies, by the words in a dog-eared New Testament, and by a tattered American flag that he vowed to someday triumphantly fly at battalion headquarters, Conner emerged victorious from the jungle—after almost three years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eResolve \u003c\/i\u003eis the story of an unlikely hero who never surrendered to the enemy—and of a soldier who never gave up hope.","brand":"Dutton Caliber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214561276159,"sku":"9780425257746","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780425257746_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307364","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780425257746","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
