Battlefield Action #62

A squad leader in the 3rd Squad, 1st Platoon faces the breaking point of battle—his men shaken by fear, exhaustion, and the weight of too many attacks over too long a line. When a battlefield commission offers him escape from the grinding responsibility, Sgt. Delano must choose between his own survival and the soldiers who depend on him to hold it together.

When a Chinese Communist breakthrough threatens the 8th Army's position in Korea, company clerk Pete Marshall finds himself thrust from his typewriter into combat alongside inexperienced rear-echelon personnel who must hold the line. As the enemy closes in with machine gun fire and armor support, Marshall discovers that the glasses that kept him desk-bound may have been the only thing standing between him and his true place in the fight. Facing down a T-34 tank and proving himself alongside the very soldiers who mocked him, Pete Marshall becomes the machine gunner his unit desperately needs.

A joint U.S. and Vietnamese Marine patrol pushes deep into the Phuoc Thanh jungle to locate a hidden Viet Cong supply depot—only to discover the enemy has built a fortress of buildings, ammunition, and hundreds of crack guerrilla troops beneath the jungle canopy. Sgt. Hoyt and Lt. Ny Dinh must fight their way through intense combat to destroy the stronghold before the enemy can escape or reinforce their position. What begins as a reconnaissance mission becomes a brutal race against time in the dense Vietnamese jungle.
