Contains 6 stories
Death of a Town!
6 pp

American soldiers assault the Korean town of Kunling in a brutal house-to-house campaign, where every street corner and booby-trapped building demands a terrible price in blood. As B Company fights through the chaos of close-quarters combat and artillery barrages, the true cost of claiming ground becomes clear—one yard at a time. When the dust settles and the town finally falls to the Allies, the victory feels hollow against the weight of what it took to seize it.

Revenge above the Yalu
6 pp

When Captain Tom Harvey and Lieutenant Al Cresswell scramble to intercept what they believe are enemy MiG-15s over Korea, they discover the Communists have set a trap—luring Harvey across the forbidden Yalu River into Manchuria to steal the Americans' prized electronic gun sight. Outnumbered and deep behind enemy lines, Harvey must use his wits and piloting skill to turn the tables and fight his way back to friendly territory. A tense aerial chase across the Korean War skies that tests one pilot's nerve against impossible odds.

Keep Moving
5 pp

A hardened soldier on the Korean front faces the terror and discipline of combat, pushing through relentless enemy fire with the survival instincts of a veteran—until a moment comes that forces him to act beyond orders. "Keep Moving" is a raw, visceral portrait of war's cost, told through the eyes of a man caught between duty and the breaking point.

Bird in Hand
4 pp

Alvin O'Keefe, the Company cook stationed in a quiet Korean sector, is determined to give his outfit a proper Thanksgiving dinner—but turkeys are nowhere to be found until he spots two in the countryside and trades a month's pay and his pants to secure them. As Thanksgiving approaches and Alvin tends his precious birds, disaster strikes when they vanish in the night, sending the furious cook on a desperate chase through the darkness that leads him straight into an encounter he never expected.

Hitting the Silk!
2 pp

A veteran paratrooper walks readers through the harrowing realities of dropping behind enemy lines—from the gut-wrenching freefall and the prayer that your chute opens, to the deadly dance of avoiding tangled lines with fellow jumpers and evading enemy fire on the ground. "Hitting the Silk!" is a gripping firsthand account of what it takes to survive one of war's most dangerous operations, told by someone who's done it in two wars. This is combat instruction wrapped in genuine human fear.

The Roughhouse Raider!
6 pp

Private Dave Chandler trades his desk at the Army Information Service for combat boots to infiltrate Communist territory and locate General Yang, the officer controlling captured U.N. personnel—a story no correspondent dares chase themselves. Fighting through enemy lines to reach Yang's headquarters in Kungpo, Chandler must extract the records that hold the truth about missing American soldiers. His mission becomes a one-man assault through overwhelming odds to bring those answers home.
