Special War Series #1

A young airborne soldier separated from his unit on D-Day must find his way to rejoin the 2nd Platoon while contending with German armor and panzer divisions advancing toward the beaches. Armed with whatever he can salvage and the help of an unexpected ally, he fights to disrupt enemy reinforcements and complete his mission before daylight brings even greater danger.

In the thick of battle for the French town of Ste. Brigit, the men of Able Company despise their commanding officer, Captain Benton—a cowardly, callous leader who throws soldiers into harm's way while hiding behind rank and protocol. When German armor rolls into town under cover of fog, the Captain finds himself pinned down and defenseless, and one soldier must decide whether his contempt runs deeper than his conscience.

A sole Marine survivor of a doomed PT boat raid finds himself stranded on a Japanese-held island in this 1965 war story from Special War Series #1. Facing execution after his attempted surrender, he seizes the moment to strike back—armed with little more than captured weapons and the determination to make his platoon's sacrifice mean something. What unfolds is a desperate one-man assault on the enemy's installations, proving that sometimes a single fighter with nothing left to lose can shake an entire island.

During the Korean War, Marines Lucas and Marlow find themselves cut off behind enemy lines when Chinese forces stream across the Yalu River with Soviet-built T-34 tanks in their wake. The two soldiers take it upon themselves to sabotage the communist supply line, devising daring tactics to destroy enemy armor and block key mountain passes. It's a tense, explosive mission where quick thinking and guts are the only things standing between the 1st Marine Division and total encirclement.
