"What would you want if you could have any wish?" asked the
photojournalist of the haggard, bloodied Marine before him. The
Marine gaped at his interviewer. The photographer snapped his
picture, which became the iconic Korean War image featured on this
book's jacket. "Give me tomorrow," he said at last.
After nearly four months of continuous and agonizing combat on
the battlefields of Korea, such a simple request seemed impossible.
For many men of George Company, or "Bloody George" as they were
known--one of the Forgotten War's most decorated yet unrecognized
companies--it was a wish that would not come true. This is the
untold story of "Bloody George," a Marine company formed quickly to
answer its nation's call to duty in 1950. This small band of men--a
colorful cast of characters, including a Native American fighting
to earn his honor as a warrior, a Southern boy from Tennessee at
odds with a Northern blue-blood reporter-turned-Marine, and a pair
of twins who exemplified to the group the true meaning of
brotherhood--were mostly green troops who had been rushed through
training to fill America's urgent need on the Korean front. They
would find themselves at the tip of the spear in some of the Korean
War's bloodiest battles. After storming ashore at Inchon and
fighting house-to-house in Seoul, George Company, one of America's
last units in reserve, found itself on the frozen tundra of the
Chosin Reservoir facing elements of an entire division of Chinese
troops. They didn't realize it then, but they were soon to become
crucial to the battle--modern-day Spartans called upon to hold off
ten times their number. "Give Me Tomorrow "is their unforgettable
story of bravery and courage. Thoroughly researched and vividly
told, "Give Me Tomorrow" is fitting testament to the heroic deeds
of George Company. They will never again be forgotten.
