Alvin York: A New Biography of the Hero of the Argonne is a biography of Alvin York by Douglas V. Mastriano published in 2014 by the University Press of Kentucky. Complaints have been made about the accuracy of the book, including its citations and a claim that a picture on the dust jacket shows Alvin York and prisoners he took.
