Beyond the Call: Private First Class George Benjamin Jr. at Leyte, 1944 follows a young radio operator of the United States Army as he rises under fire, rallies a stalled attack, rescues a trapped tank crew, and ultimately gives his life trying to shield his comrades from a deadly explosion in the Philippines campaign of World War II. Listeners hear the story of the Leyte fighting, the terrain and tactics that shaped his final day, and a clear explanation of what his Medal of Honor citation meant on the ground.
