Sgt. Harris leads a team of soldiers—including the green Pvt. Reynolds—behind enemy lines on a brutal infiltration mission where stealth, speed, and ruthlessness are the only rules. As Reynolds faces combat for the first time, he'll learn that an infiltration raid is where soldiers are truly tested, and there's no room for hesitation when lives depend on split-second decisions.
When an Army unit digs in for a nighttime attack, the soldiers prepare their weapons and steel themselves for the enemy assault they've been warned to expect. As darkness falls and tension mounts, the anticipated assault finally comes—and the men discover just how grueling the reality of combat can be compared to the endless waiting that defines a soldier's war.
Two American soldiers defend a strategic hilltop position against wave after wave of enemy assault—first as Colonial fighters holding Bunker Hill against the British in 1775, then as modern soldiers repelling Communist attacks from the same ground 177 years later.

Though the defenders are ultimately forced to fall back, they prove themselves capable of standing against overwhelming odds in the name of freedom.
A GI named Jackson receives a box of special cigars from home just before his unit heads into battle near Seoul, and he decides to save them for a celebratory smoke once the objective is captured.

Created by Hy Fleishman, this wartime tale shows that sometimes the real gamble isn't about the dice at all.
