Griffin's bestselling chronicle of the Marine Corps enters a new stage of modern warfare--with new weapons, new strategies, and a new breed of warrior--on the battlefields of Korea...</b> <p/>In 1950, Captain Ken McCoy's report on North Korean hostilities meets with so much bureaucratic displeasure that he is promptly booted out of the Corps--and just as promptly picked up by the fledgling CIA. Soon, his predictions come true: on June 25th the North Koreans invade across the 38th parallel. Immediately veterans scattered throughout military and civilian life are called up, many with only seventy-two hours notice. For these men and their families, names such as Inchon and Pusan will acquire a new, bloody reality--and become their greatest challenge of all...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for W.E.B.
