内容简介：
The sinking of the Dorchester in the icy waters off
Greenland shortly after midnight on February 3, 1942, was one of
the worst sea disasters of World War II. It was also the occasion
of an astounding feat of heroism—and faith.
As water gushed through a hole made by a German torpedo, four
chaplains—members of different faiths but linked by bonds of
friendship and devotion—moved quietly among the men onboard.
Preaching bravery, the chaplains distributed life jackets,
including their own. In the end, these four men went down with the
ship, their arms linked in spiritual solidarity, their voices
raised in prayer. In this spellbinding narrative, award-winning
author and journalist Dan Kurzman tells the story of these heroes
and the faith—in God and in country—that they shared.
They were about as different as four American clergymen could be.
George Lansing Fox (Methodist), wounded and decorated in World War
I, loved his family and his Vermont congregation—yet he re-enlisted
as soon as he heard about Pearl Harbor. Rabbi Alex Goode was an
athlete, an intellectual, and an adoring new father—yet he too
knew, the day Pearl Harbor was bombed, that he would serve. Clark
Poling (Dutch Reformed), the son a famous radio evangelist, left
for war begging his father to pray that he would never be a coward.
Father John Washington (Catholic), a scrappy Irish street fighter,
had dedicated himself to the church after a childhood brush with
death. Chance brought the chaplains together at a Massachusetts
training camp, but each was convinced that God had a reason for
placing them together aboard the Dorchester.
Drawing on extensive interviews with the chaplains’ families and
the crews of both the Dorchester and the German submarine
that fired the fatal torpedo, Kurzman re-creates the intimate
circumstances and great historic events that culminated in that
terrible night. The final hours unfold with the electrifying
clarity of nightmare—the chaplains taking charge of the dwindling
supply of life jackets, the panic of the crew, the overcrowded
lifeboats, the prayers that ring out over the chaos, and the tight
circle that the four chaplains form as the inevitable draws
near.
In No Greater Glory, Dan Kurzman tells how four
extraordinary men left their mark on a single night of war—and
forever changed the lives of those they saved. Riveting and
inspiring, this is a true story of heroism, of goodness in the face
of disaster, and of faith that transfigures even the horror of
war.
From the Hardcover edition.

“One of the greatest survival stories of World War II. A tale
full of heroism and courage in the face of genuine horror.”
—
Los Angeles Times
“Kurzman takes this gigantic tragedy and tells it in very
personal terms. . . . The writing style is compelling. . . .
Kurzman records dozens of tales of heroism, large and small. One
can only marvel at the superhuman feats man is capable of in times
of crisis.”
—
Indianapolis Star
“An intensely personal moving account of the events and
personalities involved in the catastrophe and its clouded
aftermath.”
