A privileged, hell-raising youth who had greatly embarrassed his family-and especially his war-hero father-by being dismissed from West Point, Michael J.

Starting as an enlisted man and rising through the ranks to become a captain and company commander, Daly's devotion to his men and his determination to live up to the ideals taught to him by his father led him to extraordinary acts of bravery on behalf of others, resulting in three Silver Stars, a Bronze Star w |
