Attack #1

The Marines land on Iwo Jima on February 19, 1944, striking at one of the Pacific's most heavily fortified positions in a brutal assault that tests every ounce of their resolve. As 30,000 troops pour ashore under devastating enemy fire, support units like Navy carriers face their own deadly struggle—including a catastrophic kamikaze attack—while on the volcanic island itself, medics risk their lives to save the wounded and soldiers methodically root out entrenched Japanese defenders. Through relentless combat across terrain that offers no shelter and no mercy, the Marines inch toward the symbolic raising of the American flag atop Mount Suribachi.

Two soldiers from Company A clash over pride and privilege during a brutal Korean War assault on Hill 80, a strategic position that controls access to the Mojin Bridge. When Communist forces launch a relentless attack, personal grudges dissolve in the face of survival, and the men must hold the line long enough for their wounded to escape. As the battle rages into darkness, an unlikely friendship emerges from the chaos and sacrifice.

When Captain "Don" shoots down a German fighter over a bomber base, his silence about the deed—meant to avoid seeming like a glory-hunter—backfires spectacularly; labeled a braggart, he struggles to find his footing among crews who despise him. But during a desperate bombing run over Berlin, when his crippled B-17 is going down, Don makes a choice that puts everything—his reputation, his life, and the truth itself—on the line. In this 1952 war story from *Attack*, one man discovers that heroism isn't always recognized, and sometimes the truth comes from the most unexpected places.
