Contains 4 stories
Chicken Captain
7 pp · war

At Guadalcanal, Sergeant Boyd Runnels believes Captain Jess Weisbart abandoned him under fire—a betrayal that festers through recovery and redeployment. When Runnels is reassigned to the same regiment as his former captain, he becomes convinced Weisbart will fail again when lives depend on him, watching and waiting for proof of the cowardice he witnessed. As the fighting intensifies across new islands, the sergeant discovers there may be more to that day in the jungle than he ever knew.

Hill at Panmunjom
4 pp · war

When truce negotiations hang over the Korean War in April 1952, Sgt. Jimmy Rollins keeps his hilltop machine-gun position battle-ready despite his men's hopes that the fighting is nearly finished—a caution that proves justified when 500 Chinese Communist troops launch a desperate assault on the hill. In the brutal hours that follow, Rollins and his Marines must hold their ground against waves of attackers determined to seize this strategic position before the ceasefire takes hold.

Death Walked at Night
6 pp · war

S/Sgt. Edward Alonzo Barr—called "Injun Barr" by his fellow Marines for his quiet, tactical prowess—leads a daring infiltration deep behind Japanese lines on Guadalcanal in October 1942, where American forces face overwhelming odds. When Barr devises a bold plan to strike at an enemy ammunition dump and troop depot using captured weapons and a commandeered truck, his squad must execute a harrowing five-day campaign that will test their nerve and ingenuity. This is a war story of a Marine who learned to turn the enemy's own terrain and darkness into weapons.

'Fire Team' Leader
8 pp · war

Corporal Alfred E. Corcoran leads his fire team up a heavily fortified Communist hill during the Korean War, where every position seems designed to cut them down—but he's learned to move fast, think faster, and keep his men alive through sheer determination and tactical courage. As the assault pushes upslope through machine-gun fire and mortar barrages, Corcoran proves himself the kind of leader who stays one step ahead of the enemy, coordinating with artillery and rallying his squad through impossible odds. This is raw, unflinching combat storytelling about a Marine doing his job under fire, told with the grit that defined Fightin' Marines in 1964.
