Dr. Jerome
Corsi, author of six New York Times
best-selling books, extensively researched numerous WWII resources including military
documents, personal diaries and letters. The result of his research is his
latest book, No Greater Valor: The Siege
of Bastogne and the Miracle That Sealed Allied Victory.”
“Battles are won by military power, but wars are won by
spiritual power,” said William Arnold, the WWII US Army chief of chaplains.
Dr. Corsi, intrigued by how the Siege of
Bastogne was “won by a small group of American soldiers who largely believed in
God in accordance with the Judeo-Christian traditions,” wrote No Greater Valor for a number of reasons,
which he shares in a lengthy but enlightening introduction. He asks, “Is it
possible to make the case, even today that the faith of those who fought at
Bastogne invited God to play a direct hand in how the battle turned out?” Then,
Corsi sets out to make that case.
