Inhaltsangabe

On June 25th 1950, one of the biggest surprise attacks in history charged across the 38th Parallel in the almost unknown and far away land of Korea.
Within days, the United States found itself in another conflict. One it was totally unprepared for having stood down the Army for the most part after World War II. What Army existed at the time, was poised to meet the threat of a Soviet invasion of Europe. The US had to respond and respond quickly if the Korean Peninsula was not to be overrun completely.

The answer was to commit untrained, physically unfit, underequipped soldiers and Marines into the fight in a hasty defense and the results were horrific.

Follow the actions of politicians, military leaders, and the ordinary soldier that made history. The people who held an overwhelming enemy force at bay providing time for reinforcements to be assembled, and offensive operations commenced.

The events are real, as are the characters. Only conversations are fictitious.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born into a Navy Submarine Family, I traveled the world as a child. Since I was born in 1947 and until 1993, every three years I moved to a new location as a military brat and as a service member. Enlisted in the Army in 1968 after two worthless years of college and became an Army helicopter pilot serving for 18 months in Vietnam. Was promoted to a commissioned officer while serving in Vietnam and stayed on active duty until 1993. In that time I commanded rifle companies at Fort Lewis Washington and Anchorage Alaska where I commanded an airborne company. Highlight of my career was commanding an air assault infantry battalion during Operation Desert Shield/Storm. The Army sent me back to college to finish my bachelors degree and later working on my own, two master degrees. Once I retired I went into private business and finally retired in 2015. My wife has been with me for 51 years now and I have two sons, both Army officers who rose up through the ranks like their grandfather and me.
