Trapped behind enemy lines in Korea with his partner Carswell, a determined soldier discovers that the Communist forces rely on psychological warfare and terror to control the local population—but fear can cut both ways. When the two G.I.s turn the enemy's own tactics of disruption and deception back against them, they set in motion a daring plan that draws the attention of friendly air support and changes the calculus of the entire operation.
A small outpost on Guadalcanal becomes a desperate stand when enemy forces close in and cut the communication wire, leaving a sergeant and his men to hold their position alone. With the Japanese taunting from the darkness and grenades flying, the men must find a way to signal for support before they're overwhelmed. When artillery illuminates the night sky, the tables finally turn in this tense Pacific battle.
"Double Ambush" sets a cunning trap when the 1st Platoon probes toward the Cambodian border and walks straight into a carefully prepared enemy bushwhack—but the real scheme runs deeper, with reinforcements called in to spring a counter-ambush of their own. As fire closes in from multiple directions and a helicopter joins the fight, the soldiers must navigate mined trails and hidden positions to turn the tables on their hunters.
In "Look of a Hero," Sgt. Buck Leary carries the weight of his men’s belief, though he’s anything but fearless. As they march into a quiet French village during WWII, the pressure to act like a hero forces him to confront the courage he didn’t know he had.
