Battlefront #5

A brash new lieutenant joins a tank outfit on the Korean front, armed with a pearl-handled revolver and dreams of living up to his cavalry-officer ancestor—but when a massive Soviet tank assault erupts, he has to prove his unorthodox confidence isn't just bluster. When Lieutenant Finley and Sergeant Rivera find themselves stranded behind enemy lines after a daring reconnaissance mission, they'll need more than nerve to survive what comes next.

In November 1950, the U.S. Marines' First Division finds itself trapped in northern Korea when Chinese forces cut off their supply lines, but rather than surrender ground, they push forward in a daring fighting withdrawal toward the coast. From the frozen roads near Yudami through the gauntlet to Hagaru and beyond, the Marines battle their way out in one of the Corps' most harrowing campaigns, holding the line while their wounded are carried to safety. This is the true story of how leathernecks refused to be cornered—and carved their own path back to the sea.

Comstock is the Army's laziest gold-bricker—a chronic shirker who'd rather dodge duty than volunteer for anything—but when his outfit digs in at Heartbreak Ridge in Korea, his cynical philosophy about survival clashes with the idealism of younger soldiers like Schroeder. As the battle intensifies and casualties mount, Comstock discovers that staying safe might demand the one thing he's avoided his entire military career.

A Chinese-American soldier faces prejudice from his own unit, but when an ambush lands Charlie Wu and his fellow G.I.s in enemy hands, his true loyalties—and courage—come into sharp focus. As the patrol endures interrogation and execution, Charlie must navigate impossible choices between survival, honor, and the lives of his comrades.

During the Korean conflict, helicopters earn their nickname "dragonflies" as they perform vital missions across the battlefield—spotting enemy positions for artillery, delivering reinforcements to isolated hilltops, and reaching places ground transport cannot. This wartime tribute celebrates the versatile 'copter as an indispensable lifeline for fighting men across land, sea, and sky.

During a lull in the Korean fighting, a sergeant's dozen fresh eggs become an unwitting casualty when a soldier named Lefty shows off his old semi-pro pitching form—and the sergeant decides the best punishment is to drag him along on a dangerous rescue mission to break a captured general out of enemy hands. As Lefty and Sergeant Stack infiltrate the communist lines and work their way toward the town where the general is being paraded, Lefty's talent for the game becomes the last thing anyone expects to turn the tide in a tight spot.
