Fightin' Army #76

When a newly arrived colonel takes command of the 2nd Battalion during the Korean War, he's appalled by what he sees—exhausted, mud-caked soldiers who don't meet his spit-and-polish standards. But when a surprise Chinese attack forces him into the thick of combat alongside the very men he'd dismissed, he discovers that these "slobs" might have more grit than he gave them credit for. As the battle unfolds, the colonel learns what it really takes to survive in Korea—and it's nothing they taught him about appearance or parade-ground discipline.

A soldier separated from his unit during a Chinese Communist night attack must survive behind enemy lines—and discovers that staying alive means more than just running. When he encounters a fellow survivor, Lufkin faces a choice between hiding and fighting back, leading to a desperate stand that forces him to confront his own courage in the heat of battle.

Captain Willy Schultz serves under the incompetent Colonel Charles Stenik, a general's son whose reckless orders in a desert tank battle result in the deaths of Schultz's men. When Schultz confronts the colonel over the needless casualties, a shot rings out—and Stenik falls dead. Ambitious Captain Wilkes seizes the moment to frame Schultz for murder, but a mine blast during Schultz's transfer to execution gives him an unexpected chance at freedom. Stranded behind enemy lines, Schultz assumes a dead German soldier's uniform and identity, beginning a harrowing journey where he must think and act like the enemy while wrestling with a harsh new understanding of who the enemy really is.
