The Long Voyage Home
6 pp · war

Sergeant "Battle" Flagg takes a reluctant young replacement named Private Thompson under his wing in Korea, determined to teach him that there's a right way and a wrong way to get home—and Flagg's methods are as unconventional as they come. When enemy forces mount a major assault and the rest of the unit pulls back, Thompson's unwavering obedience to Flagg's orders puts him in a position that could change everything. A lean, punchy war story about discipline, courage, and what it really means to earn your way home.

The Japanese Sandman
7 pp · war

Sgt. "Battle" Flagg, a hardened Korean War veteran, finds himself recovering from a wound in Tokyo—and quickly falling under the spell of the beautiful and charming Lily, who draws him into her home with promises of hospitality. What Flagg doesn't realize is that his new acquaintance is actually a Communist spy, testing whether she can extract vital military secrets from one of the Army's most decorated soldiers. When charm and seduction fail, Flagg discovers just how far he'll go to protect his country—and how his decades of combat experience might be his greatest weapon yet.

The Heart of an Army
6 pp · war

When the Fifth Platoon's captain falls in combat during the brutal Korean winter, Sergeant Frank Campbell steadies the men until a new lieutenant arrives—but Lt. John Benton's by-the-book tactics and harsh dismissal of the veteran sergeant create a rift that tests Campbell's loyalty to his unit. After Benton is captured by enemy forces, Campbell must decide whether his duty to the man he resents outweighs his own pride and the men's anger. In this tale from *Fighting War Stories* #5, a hardened sergeant discovers what truly holds an army together.

Freedom to Die
7 pp · war

In Korea, Carl Heinz fights alongside Dog Company's Marines, but his mysterious past—and a revelation that he once served in the German Army—makes him an outcast among men who've lost brothers to Nazi brutality. When a Russian broadcast intercepted during a briefing threatens to turn a planned dawn assault into a massacre, Heinz's knowledge of the language and his desperate plea for a chance to defend himself become the company's only hope of survival.
