Contains 6 stories
Mortars Are Murder!
6 pp · war

American soldiers pinned down by relentless mortar fire learn firsthand why these invisible weapons are so deadly—until a chance to strike back sends them scrambling up a blood-soaked hill to silence the enemy guns. This hard-hitting Korean War story takes you from the terror of bombardment to the raw courage of close combat, proving that sometimes guts are the only answer to firepower.

The Making of a Hero!
5 pp · war

When Corporal Ronald Rosser's brother is killed in Korea, the quiet coal miner from Crooksville, Ohio transforms his grief into fierce determination—vowing to make the enemy pay. Facing overwhelming Red forces dug into a fortified hill near Ponggil-li, Rosser embarks on a harrowing solo charge that tests his courage, pain, and resolve in ways he never imagined. "The Making of a Hero!" explores what it truly takes for an ordinary soldier to rise to extraordinary heroism.

The Enemy
6 pp · war

When a green replacement named Jerry Garner joins a battle-worn American outfit in Korea, he's eager to prove himself—but his first patrol teaches him a brutal lesson about the enemy's deception. As Jerry discovers during combat, the line between mercy and survival is thinner than he imagined, and the cost of learning "the score" leaves scars both visible and hidden.

Battle of the Caves
4 pp · war

A narrator recounts the pivotal assault on the heavily fortified Biak cave network during World War II, where entrenched enemies harass advancing troops through interconnected tunnels and openings. When conventional tactics—grenades, flame-throwers, and standard explosives—prove ineffective or dangerously backfire, American forces improvise devastating countermeasures, from skip-bombing runs to cascading gasoline ignition. The campaign builds toward a devastating final confrontation as the enemy prepares a last stand.

Griper's Folly
4 pp · war

Infantryman Hal Gordon, known around camp as the "King of Gripers" for his constant complaints about marching while others ride in trucks, gets his wish when a sergeant offers him a chance to escort an ammunition truck to the front lines instead. What Gordon discovers on that harrowing journey through enemy-controlled territory—dodging artillery barrages, sniper fire, and a roadblock ambush—teaches him a hard lesson about what he was really complaining about. By the time the truck reaches the ammo depot, Gordon's perspective on his place in the infantry has undergone a dramatic shift.

United in Battle!
3 pp · war

PFC. Joe Mitchell arrives at the Korean front skeptical of fighting alongside soldiers from other United Nations countries, convinced that only Americans can be trusted in combat. When his company deploys alongside an International Battalion of volunteers from Turkey, Greece, Thailand, Cuba, France, and the Philippines, Mitchell's prejudices are put to the test as enemy forces attack and his new allies repeatedly risk their lives to save his. By battle's end, Mitchell learns that courage and brotherhood know no borders.
