U.S. Fighting Men #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue presents multiple war stories featuring American combat troops. One story depicts paratroopers engaged in fierce battle, with soldiers throwing grenades and fighting enemy reinforcements while demolition teams target the railroad at Gensan. Another story follows Gus Karolsky, an immigrant's son who becomes a model accountant but is drafted in 1949, only to struggle with his dread of guns and violence during combat training on the Korean front; when his unit faces the Reds at the Yalu River, Karolsky must overcome his fear to help defend the 23rd Battalion's position. A third narrative involves refugees fleeing Red territory across the 38th Parallel, with King's action at a prison camp suggesting military operations to aid escaping civilians and expose enemy movements.
Sergeant Casco and his patrol dog King join the 101st Airborne Division's experimental canine corps unit, just as military intelligence uncovers enemy buildup around Gensan—truce talks be damned. When orders come down for a combat jump to destroy the Communist stockpiles, man and dog prepare for their first action together, only to find themselves caught between the chaos of battle and a sinister plot that will test their bond to its breaking point. In the valley of death that follows, Casco and King discover that the real enemy may be closer—and more treacherous—than they ever imagined.
Gus Karolsky, a peace-loving immigrant who once feared guns and violence, faces an impossible choice when Communist forces attack his U.N. unit during wartime—hold the line alone with a machine gun, or let his entire front collapse. Over hours of fierce combat, this reluctant soldier transforms into something beyond what anyone expected, fighting through overwhelming odds to protect his brothers-in-arms. His story, drawn from the Medal of Honor roll in Washington, D.C., stands as a testament to what courage demands of an ordinary man.
