☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Blood of the Big Brass" follows American soldiers on a commando raid during the Korean War. After a general orders a suicidal assault on a vital hill position, soldier Johnson questions the command decision while soldiers Anson and Danny debate the morality of such orders that sacrifice lives. The unit then undertakes a secret naval approach to attack a Red airfield two miles north of Lsai, with the soldiers advancing up a treacherous hill under intense enemy fire, suffering casualties but ultimately gaining ground to secure the strategic objective.
Sergeant Fallon leads a dangerous patrol behind enemy lines to scout a massive Red concentration, but his past catches up with him when Ernie Trask—a former New York cop turned private eye—joins the unit and begins to suspect the sergeant isn't who he claims to be. As the mission unfolds under fire, Fallon must navigate the deadly reconnaissance while wrestling with a secret that could destroy him if Trask discovers the truth. With the fate of his entire camp hanging in the balance, Fallon faces a choice that will test both his survival instincts and his conscience.
A general's cold rejection of his estranged stepson takes a brutal turn when they meet on the Korean front lines—and what begins as a moment of shame spirals into a mission that tests everything the officer thought he knew about the young soldier. As the battle unfolds and a crucial objective hangs in the balance, the general must confront not only his command decisions, but the price of eight years of silence and blame. "Blood of the Big Brass" examines what it costs to wear rank when the men beneath it are the ones you're supposed to protect—especially when one of them is family.
A hard-nosed Marine named Hotchkiss scoffs at tales of solo heroism—until a commando raid goes catastrophically wrong and he's cast ashore, alone and surrounded by enemy forces. Now the cynical soldier who claimed no man could survive single-handed finds himself in the exact impossible situation he mocked, forced to fight with every ounce of cunning and desperation just to signal for rescue. As the odds mount and the Reds close in, Hotchkiss discovers whether his convictions about a lone soldier's chances hold any truth.
When Pvt. Danny Lovelace and his buddy Joe Gribble are captured behind enemy lines during a brutal campaign for "50-50 Hill" in Korea, Danny discovers the Communists' secret to holding the ridge: Mongolian pack horses that can navigate terrain no supply truck can reach. Trapped in a barn with the enemy's supply animals and facing torture, Danny must use his Wyoming cowboy skills to engineer an escape and turn the tide for his company.
