☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue featuring multiple war stories. "The Major's All-Out War" depicts a major who has stopped being human, transformed by the brutality of warfare into something animalistic, commanding soldiers with cruelty. "The Last Charge" is set in November 1950 during the Korean War, where General MacArthur's forces have pushed north, and a rifle company commanded by Captain Gun Meehan, outnumbered and facing Chinese Communist forces, makes a desperate final assault on an enemy position. A third story, "What You Can Expect," follows a recruit named Smith through his military induction, training, and assignment to tank mechanics school, concluding with his reunion with his girlfriend after a year of service.
In a Korean War psychiatric ward, Lt. Miles Hargill remains trapped in a single moment from 1951—the day his platoon was supposed to support Captain Furman's assault on Mortar Hill, only to encounter a crisis that forced an impossible choice. Through repeated sessions with his doctors, Hargill relives the mission obsessively, convinced he abandoned his men to death, haunted by Captain Furman's voice calling him a traitor across the frozen valley. When an unexpected visitor appears in the hospital, the full truth of what really happened that day begins to surface, threatening either to finally set Hargill free—or shatter what little remains of his fractured mind.
Captain Meehan's undermanned rifle company digs in at a walled Korean estate in November 1950, their ammunition nearly depleted and enemy forces closing in from all sides. When a local boy reveals a hidden stable of horses left behind by the estate's former owner, the resourceful captain sees an unexpected way to turn the tide against the advancing Chinese forces. A desperate gamble unfolds as the company prepares for a last stand that defies modern warfare itself.
A young inductee named Smith arrives for basic training, enduring the stereotypical hardships soldiers have long griped about—until he discovers there's more to army life than the cynical songs suggest. As he progresses through specialized training in tank mechanics, Smith gradually transforms, and a year later finds himself reconsidering everything he thought he knew about his future. What begins as reluctant duty evolves into something that might just change the course of his life.
After 97 days of brutal combat across France, Major Bolling arrives to command Baker Company with an iron fist and a merciless doctrine—no mercy for prisoners, no quarter in battle, and absolute obedience or face court-martial. The battle-hardened troops quickly realize their new commander is driven by something far more dangerous than combat experience, and as the company pushes toward a village objective under impossible fire, they begin to question whether the real threat comes from the enemy ahead or from behind their own lines.
