Battle Report #3

Private Luke Apple has a talent for wild ideas—and an even greater talent for watching them blow up in his face. When he decides to rig up an automatic alarm system in no-man's-land to catch enemy infiltrators, he doesn't count on getting tangled in his own trap, along with half the Korean army and his own commanding officers. What starts as a scheme to impress the brass turns into pure chaos, but somehow Apple keeps swinging.

Two mortar-men, Steve and Jim, prove their worth under fire in the Korean conflict—until a sniper's bullet changes everything. When Jim's battle buddy falls, he sets out into the cliffs seeking revenge against the North Korean marksman Kim, leading to a brutal confrontation neither soldier will forget. This is a raw, unflinching look at the bonds forged in combat and the toll they exact.

A handful of G.I.s holding Devil's Pass stumble onto a communist supply cache and must use their wits—and some creative scarecrows—to hold off an advancing enemy column when they become cut off from their own forces. With the legendary ghost story of Ch'ing Shih working in their favor, Sgt. Blake and his men turn the tables on superstitious Red Army soldiers who fear the very spirits they once used to guard their stolen supplies. It's a clever bit of wartime improvisation that proves sometimes the best weapon is knowing what your enemy already believes.

During the Korean War, a paratroop soldier named Ted Sharrock survives a crash with help from Tujo, a humble well-digger, only to find their paths crossing again when Tujo is forced into the enemy ranks and imprisoned at the Koje Island P.W. camp. When Tujo risks everything to slip Ted his dog tags hidden in a cigarette pack, the American soldier recognizes the signal and discovers a communist tunnel plot—setting the stage for Ted and Tujo to fight side by side to expose the conspiracy and turn the tables on their captors. It's a story about loyalty across impossible odds, where a simple act of kindness comes full circle.
