A Blanket for Angie!
5 pp · War

Pvt. Angie Lange, a Southern soldier unaccustomed to Korea's brutal cold, struggles to stay warm and functional in the Korean hills while his buddies search for an extra blanket to help him survive the freezing conditions. When a Chinese offensive forces the unit into combat, Angie and his fellow soldiers must fight to retake a strategic ridge—a mission that will determine whether he ever finds the warmth he's been desperately seeking. This 1955 war story captures the clash between personal survival and the demands of battle in the frozen terrain of Korea.

Killer Patrol

Private Tom Parker gets his baptism by fire on his first killer patrol—a harrowing night mission behind enemy lines where a green soldier must learn fast to survive encounters with enemy armor, machine-gun fire, and pillbox fortifications. As Parker transforms from a frightened recruit into a seasoned veteran through the brutal lessons of combat, he discovers that the cycle of war continues relentlessly, with fresh faces always arriving to take their turn under fire.

Run to Murmansk

When a Liberty ship breaks from convoy to make a solo dash to Murmansk, the crew discovers that what looked like an easy run becomes anything but once German aircraft and a U-boat have them in their sights.

This 1955 war story proves that in combat, no job is as simple as it seems from the sidelines.
