A Marine who wielded both pen and sword in a long, distinguished
career captures the heroism and horror of the early days of the
Korean War in this gripping novel. As a young man--with his own
experiences in the war still vivid in his mind--Simmons wrote of
the complex gamut of emotions and experiences that made this bloody
encounter between East and West so unique. He kept the manuscript
to himself until the war's fiftieth anniversary, when it was
published to critical acclaim. Lauded for bringing a psychological
intensity and realism to the war, the novel tells the story of a
Marine reserve captain abruptly recalled to active duty to lead a
company of Marines in a series of battles from the mud flats of
Inchon to the frozen wasteland of the Chosin reservoir.
