About This Item

New York : Putnam's, 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 325 pages; Description: x, 325 p., 8 p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Subjects: Clark, Eugene Franklin --Personal narratives, American. Korean War, 1950-1953 --Campaigns --Korea (South) --Inchon --Reconnaissance operations, American. Summary: This first-hand account of a crucial, but little-known, covert mission of the Korean War offers a revealing and remarkable story of wartime courage-from the very man who led the mission. According to his colleagues, Commander Eugene Franklin Clark had ""the nerves of a burglar and the flair of a Barbary Coast Pirate."" And in August 1950, when General MacArthur made the unpopular decision to invade Inchon-a move considered by many to be tactical suicide-he sent in Clark to find out what they needed to know.
