Marine War Heroes #9

S/Sgt. Jake Roberts, a heavily decorated Marine whose combat record has made him a target, is captured during the brutal battle for Iwo Jima and dragged deep into the Japanese tunnel system beneath the island. General Tawaki plans to parade the celebrated American before his reserve troops to break their morale—but Roberts refuses to play the role of a defeated man. When the general's psychological gambit meets the Marine's unshakeable resolve, the real battle begins.

Sgt. Judd Biddle was a decorated Marine hero of the Pacific War, but when he tried to build a civilian life back home, he discovered the skills that made him legendary in combat meant nothing in the insurance office and factory floor. Years later, re-enlisted and facing deployment to Korea, Biddle must confront a hard truth: the fearless warrior he once was has been replaced by doubt, and now he has to decide whether he can earn back the medals he's been coasting on.

Two brothers join the Marines with vastly different mettle: Jake Higbee proves himself a natural warrior at Tarawa and Saipan, while his younger brother Harry struggles with fear and self-preservation, earning Jake's contempt and the unit's scorn. When a Japanese grenade threatens Jake's life during the fighting on Luzon, Harry faces a choice that will define who he really is as a Marine and as a man.
