When World War II broke out, Desmond, a young American, found himself faced with a dilemma: like any of his compatriots, he wanted to serve his country, but violence was incompatible with his beliefs and moral principles. He was opposed to even holding a weapon, let alone killing.
He nevertheless enlisted in the infantry as a doctor. His refusal to bend his beliefs earned him harsh treatment from his comrades and superiors, but it was armed only with his faith that he entered the hell of war to become one of its greatest heroes.
During the Battle of Okinawa on the impregnable Maeda Cliff, he managed to save dozens of lives alone under enemy fire, bringing wounded soldiers back to safety from the battlefield one by one.
