The Fighting Man #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Glory Horn" depicts a young soldier named Deke Perkins being sent to the Army, where his mother gives him an old brass bugle that belonged to his great-grandfather, the best bugler in the Army of the Potomac. During the Korean War, Deke and his fellow soldiers are transporting supplies by train through Korea when they are ambushed by guerrillas who stop the train. After spotting an American woman aboard and discovering that guerrillas are in pursuit, Deke and his unit must use a jeep to deliver rice rations and reach General Headquarters, encountering enemy forces along the way while relying on the historic bugle to signal and coordinate their movements.
One lone replacement soldier arrives at Baker Company when the fighting is at its fiercest, and though no one learns his name in the chaos of battle, he quickly proves himself a fearless fighter alongside Swede and the rest of the desperate unit. As waves of enemy attacks and air strikes rain down, this nameless GI will make a choice that ensures his comrades' survival—but costs him everything. A powerful tribute to the unknown soldiers who gave their all in Korea.
In a quiet moment before the front lines, Deke Perkins finds his bugle—once a symbol of a fading tradition—becomes his voice in the chaos of Korea. Though the Army no longer needs a bugler, his horn still carries the weight of courage, calling men forward when words fail.
Two G.I.s, Joe and Mike, are assigned the dangerous duty of guarding a train carrying a valuable cargo across war-torn Korea, only to find themselves under siege by guerilla fighters determined to seize the weapons aboard. When the attack turns tragic, Mike must fight alone against overwhelming odds to protect the train and honor his fallen comrade.
When Hardy and Len steal a rice shipment from a Communist depot, they seize an enemy jeep to haul their prize back to starving American troops in hiding—but their getaway turns into a high-speed chase through swamp and cliff roads with Commie patrols on their heels. With quick thinking, clever driving, and the rice bags themselves as unexpected ballast, they race to reach Allied lines before the enemy can cut them off. A wild ride of American ingenuity under fire.
