Synopsis

Korea, June 1, 1950. Captain Ken McCoy’s report on probable North Korean hostilities meets with so much bureaucratic displeasure that not only is it promptly suppressed, but McCoy himself is kicked out of the Corps. At least two outfits, however, are not impressed by such infighting: the fledgling CIA, which promptly hires McCoy; and the North Koreans, who on June 25th invade across the 38th parallel.Immediately, veterans scattered throughout military and civilian life are called up, many with only seventy-two hours’ notice. For Fleming Pickering and Pick, his daredevil son, and Ed Banning, George Hart, Jack Stecker, Jake Dillon, Ernie Zimmerman—and for the women who love them—names such as Inchon and Pusan will acquire a new, bloody reality, and Korea will become not only a new battlefield—but their greatest challenge of all…

Seven years have passed between the events of In Danger’s Path and the start of Under Fire. World War II has ended and the Cold War has begun. MacArthur is in charge of Japan just a couple of weeks before North Korea invades the South. MacArthur and the U.S. has no idea that such an invasion is bein......more

Another great WEB Griffin book. This one brought me to tears twice, once for the courage dedication and sacrifice of the Marines he chronicled, and once for the loss of this great man who so brilliantly told their story.......more

The Master story teller at his best...! An WEB Griffen book is like a bottle of the Very best fine wine, it is to be savored and served at the proper temperature.
