Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

After the epic struggle of World War II, W.E.B. Griffins bestselling chronicle of the Marine Corps enters a new stage of modern warfare—with new weapons, new strategies, and a new breed of warrior—on the battlefields of Korea…

 

In 1950, Captain Ken McCoys report on North Korean hostilities meets with so much bureaucratic displeasure that he is promptly booted out of the Corps—and just as promptly picked up by the fledgling CIA. Soon, his predictions come true: on June 25th the North Koreans invade across the 38th parallel. Immediately veterans scattered throughout military and civilian life are called up, many with only seventy-two hours notice. For these men and their families, names such as Inchon and Pusan will acquire a new, bloody reality—and become their greatest challenge of all…

 

Synopsis:

Griffin leaves WWII behind and thrusts his readers deep into the heart of the Korean War.
