General Shimachi Kuri, the celebrated "Tiger of Tokyo," unveils an audacious plan to attack San Francisco and conquer North America—but Captain Jake Vogel, a Marine who once faced the general in a rigged bout years before the war, volunteers to lead a covert raid on the island where Kuri and the Japanese Imperial Staff are gathered. With a handful of men and a submarine at his back, Vogel infiltrates the heavily guarded installation to settle an old score and strike at the heart of enemy command.

A tough drill instructor who trained raw recruits into fighting marines finally gets his shot at combat—but when he lands on Saipan with the men he once hardened in boot camp, a close brush with enemy fire leaves him shaken and slow to react. As his former trainees watch to see if their hardnosed sergeant still has what it takes, he'll have to prove himself under fire alongside the very marines he once pushed to their breaking point.
