Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice
Adam Makos · 2015
🎙 Narrated by Dominic Hoffman
81/100
👍 Worth It
A powerful, true story of wartime brotherhood across the color line — Hudner and Brown's bond, and the risk Hudner takes for his friend, is the kind of history that sticks with you. It's adult nonfiction with real combat violence, so it's not for younger ears, but the substance here is genuine and well-documented. Dominic Hoffman is a well-regarded, award-winning narrator generally, though I couldn't confirm how this specific performance lands.
