Media Reviews
"[A] bitter, despairing novel....Gloomy, gory, and furiously critical of MacArthur, [the novel] throws ice water on mindlessly gung-ho military thrillers, concluding that the only good things about war are the honor and decency of the few good men who fight it."
-- Kirkus
"Mr. Brady's novel about the war is almost brought down by the weight of stock war-novel devices. Even so, it transforms his bitter memory of the conflict into a gritty reconstruction of one of the war's most harrowing moments....At his best, Mr. Brady...keeps a tight grip on the mind. He has a fine ear for the soldiers' pungent vernacular, and he offers us three well-rounded fictional characters whose experiences have a realistic bite." -- Richard Bernstein
-- New York Times

Retreat, Hell!
by W. E. B. Griffin
In the fall of 1950, the U.S. Marines confront an uphill battle as they make their way from Inchon across the 38th parallel, dealing with the full force of Chinese military might, an escalating confrontation between General MacArthur and President Truman, and the disappearance of Brigadier General Pickering's pilot son behind enemy lines, in a story about the Korean War.
Under Fire
by W.E. Butterworth
Griffin takes his Marine heroes to Korea, in the biggest Corps novel of them all. Through eight books, Griffin's bestselling chronicle of the Marine Corps has proven itself to be one of the country's most enduring and popular series. Now, Griffin leaves World War II behind and thrusts his readers deep into the heart of the Korean War. June 1, 1950: Captain Ken McCoy's report on probable North Korean hostilities meets with so much bureaucratic displeasure that not only is it promptly suppressed, but McCoy himself is kicked out of the Corps. At least two outfits, however, are not impressed by such infighting: the fledgling CIA, which promptly hires McCoy, and the North Koreans, who on June 25th invade across the 38th parallel. Immediately, veterans scattered throughout military and civilian life are called up, many with only 72 hours' notice. Fleming Pickering and his daredevil son Malcolm, Ed Manning, George Hart, Jack Stecker, Jake Dillon, Ernie Zimmerman - for them and their sweethearts and wives, names such as Inchon, Pusan, and the Choisin Reservoir will acquire a new, bloody reality, and Korea will become not only a new battlefield...but their greatest challenge of all. Filled with the crackling realism, adventure, and rich characters that are his hallmarks, Under Fire is further proof, as Tom Clancy says, that "W.E.B. Griffin is a storyteller in the grand tradition."
The Marine
by James Brady
Assigned the duties of military attachT to the American ambassador in Korea, World War II marine colonel James Cromwell finds himself in the throes of the dramatic First Hundred Days of the Korean War. By the author of Warning of War and The Marines of Autumn.
The Captains
by W. E. B. Griffin
It's more than an accident. It's a deadly assault across the 38th parallel. It is the Korean War. From Pusan to the Yalu, those who serve drive forward with commands too new and tanks too old.
