Summary: Nicely done
Comment: As I read this book, I kept thinking of Ambrose's great works, David Hackworth's authobiography, and the best works of Turow! I finished it with a much better understanding of Korean War history and its obvious similarities to the Vietnam War. The descriptions of battle were chilling. It truly was hard to put down.

Summary: Good Book on the Korean War
Comment: The author hits home with a war that most have forgotten but we must never. It is also an excellent book on the growing up from a small town to the war to the politics of Washington. It is a nice showing of a man beating the politics to save himself.

Summary: Ranks with Remarque and Hemingway
Comment: My wife, who is a reader of everything from Dick Francis mysteries to Julia Child cookbooks, was enthralled with this easy to read, thoroughly well written second novel. The vivid realities of the gore, stench and confusion of the Korean War were a horrendous revelation to her, whose war experiences had been WWII meat and gas rationing and USO dances.

Sparked by her recommendation, I read through non-stop with absolute fascination. My wife was right. The differences between life and people in a small southern town, the bloody Korean MLR (Main Line of Resistance), and today's Washington politics leap into the reader's mind with clarity and definition. As a youth, I had read the great sagas written between World Wars by Erich Maria Remarque, Ernest Hemingway and countless less memorable authors. Serving much the same purpose for the Korean War, this ranks in my list of must readings on the same level with "All Quiet On The Western Front" and "For Whom The Bell Tolls."

Beyond that, the author provides a sense of personal understanding to a war that seemed useless and wasteful to those of us who had forgotten. Interwoven with the reality of war is an underlying series of personal interrelationships, reminding the reader of how great novels were written generations ago.

Not only will participants in the Korean War be unforgotten, the author will be remembered for a marvelous contribution of excellent literature.
