Contains 7 stories
The Silent Foe
6 pp · war

A Marine named Vince Leahy holds a frozen outpost alone for two days, battling not only Chinese attacks but the relentless cold itself—a foe more dangerous than any enemy gun. When enemy troops finally move to overwhelm his position, Leahy must overcome his own frostbite-numbed body to warn Charley Company and rejoin the fight. "The Silent Foe" is a gritty portrait of survival against the elements on a Korean hillside, where the real enemy wears no uniform.

The Town Taker
1 pp · war

Before the U.S. Army can secure an enemy-held town, artillery and air strikes soften the target—but the real work falls to the infantry, who must take each building street by street. In "The Town Taker," soldiers discover that survival depends on knowing which tactics keep you alive when clearing a town room by room.

If One Survived
5 pp · war

In the hills of Luzon, the 2nd Marine Platoon contends with Chick Maggraw—a self-serving soldier who everyone despises for always looking out for himself first, yet somehow keeps surviving where others fall. As the squad faces relentless Japanese fire from fortified positions, Maggraw's uncanny ability to stay alive and his unexpected moments of combat skill become impossible to ignore. When a mortar crew pins down the entire platoon, Maggraw must decide whether his survival instinct will override everything else.

Two For Trouble
5 pp · war

Two young Marines, Shumski and Leeds, can't stop fighting each other—first in boot camp, then in the Korean combat zone—but their constant bickering masks a fierce battlefield partnership. When a Communist mortar position pins down their company, one of them makes a desperate solo run up the ridge to silence the guns, proving that beneath all the rivalry runs genuine respect and courage. Watch as these two "troublemakers" discover that their real enemy isn't each other.

Scramble
1 pp · war

When an unidentified aircraft triggers an emergency scramble, a jet fighter pilot launches in seconds with orders to intercept and destroy—only to discover at the last moment that the target is a civilian airliner with a faulty radio. This tense 1965 war story captures the hair-trigger vigilance of Cold War air defense, where split-second decisions mean the difference between heroism and tragedy.

Not Very Brave
7 pp · war

Arthur Tanner joins the Marines to impress his girl and live up to his older brother's legacy, but he's plagued by fear and a conviction that he lacks the courage of a true Marine. Over campaigns from Guadalcanal to Korea, Tanner discovers that quiet competence and steady nerve under fire matter more than heroic impulses—and that the man he believed himself to be was never who he actually had become.
