14 Days of Glory
8 pp · war

When the 1st Marine Division found itself surrounded by Communist Chinese forces near the frozen Chosin Reservoir in November 1950, Corporal Mel Tucker and his fellow Marines faced an impossible choice: surrender or fight their way out through twelve enemy divisions with nothing but grit and firepower. Over two brutal weeks of sub-zero combat, Tucker and Captain Bardonski lead their men in a desperate campaign that's part tactical withdrawal and part relentless counterattack, turning what could have been a rout into a testament to Marine resolve. This is "14 Days of Glory"—a raw account of survival, sacrifice, and the men who refused to break when the odds demanded they should.

Operation Shingle: Anzio
1 pp · war

On January 22, 1943, American forces landed at Anzio, Italy—a town thirty miles south of Rome—expecting a swift victory with 36,000 men and supplies hitting the beach almost unopposed. What began as a seemingly easy operation turned into a brutal nightmare when German aircraft and heavy artillery dug into the surrounding hills unleashed relentless attacks on the beachhead and anchored ships. This harrowing account captures one of World War II's costliest and most grueling battles of attrition.

1 Man Strong Point
8 pp · war

Montana Mike Ruane, a former cowboy turned sergeant in the 1st Infantry Division's machine-gun battalion, finds himself in the thick of trench warfare in France during 1917. When German forces mass for a major assault, Ruane positions his gun in a daring spot near enemy lines—and when the attack comes, his well-placed firepower on the German flank throws their entire regiment into confusion. Outnumbered but resourceful, Ruane makes a desperate stand that turns the tide of battle and forces a German surrender.

The Marianas Turkey Shoot
1 pp · war

In June 1944, Vice Admiral Ozawa leads the Japanese carrier fleet toward Saipan with orders to destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet, only to face Admiral Spruance's formidable 5th Fleet and its fifteen carriers in a massive confrontation. This pivotal naval engagement off the Marianas tests both fleets' resolve and firepower in one of the war's most decisive moments.

The Family Man
7 pp · war

Bob Carmody, a 31-year-old family man pulled from his hardware store clerk job into the reserves during the Korean War, struggles to balance his worry for his wife and four children—especially his youngest daughter's illness—with his duty to his squad. When the unit is sent into combat in Korea in 1951, Carmody's squadmates have fiercely protected him, but he grows ashamed of leaning on them and resolves to pull his full weight, no matter the cost. As a major Chinese attack crashes down on their position, Carmody's choice to stop holding back sets off a chain of events that will test everything his squad has fought to preserve.
