After the epic struggle of World War II, W.E.B. Griffin’s 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 McCoy’s report on North Korean hostilities meets with so much bureaucratic displeasure that he is promptly booted out of the Corps—and just as … 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.

WEB Griffin creates wonderful characters and stories. I read everything he writes!
I had read this book more years ago than I want to remember. When I saw it on Kindle I had to have it. It is so realistic and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I enjoy all of her Mr Griffin’s books.
I’ve always been a fan of Griffin’s work. Gritty characters and real life action. Very hard to put down.
Better than a cliff hanger but still not certain I like books that have an obvious following book. I will still but the following book.
Great series
While telling a good story, Griffin manages to bring in some facts not widely known but adding to the story!
The entire series is one of the best, but start from the first book!
How can I add to the already outstanding accolades to the finest Author there is? If you have any interest in our great history and it’s greatest people you must read and re-read all the works of W.E.B. They’re like a history of the finest years of this Country with all the love and hate, tragedy and triumph combined. Mr. Griffin is as great a historian as Stephen Ambrose. He just mixes a little fantasy showing how people interact in the most terrible of times.
OK, read as the others in the WEB series.
W.E.B Griffin is a Master storyteller, with a full slate of characters you really care about. Don’t miss this.
One of the later books in the Corps series by W.E.B. Griffin. Great character development and story flow. He brings “Killer” McCoy to life.
Fiction interlaced with real events, some not well known but good to know. Told with typical WEB Griffin flair.
