A machine gunner's contempt for rear-echelon troops gets tested when his unit is sent to guard a construction battalion at an airstrip—and Communist guerrillas launch a coordinated assault on the position. As Ted Morris and his men fight desperately to hold the line against overwhelming odds, he discovers that the very "rear-rank commandos" he despised might be more crucial to survival than he ever imagined.

A Present for the Fuehrer

In February 1938, Admiral Walter Canaris promises Hitler more than mere blueprints—he vows to deliver Britain's newest military aircraft, the secret Vickers Wellesley, as a personal gift. When the plane takes its test flight over the North Sea, Canaris's espionage network springs an elaborate trap to force it down into the waiting hands of German forces. This true-war account chronicles one of history's boldest intelligence operations during the shadow of impending global conflict.

Private Joe Yank and Sergeant Mike McGurk investigate a terrifying Korean mystery when American soldiers stumble out of the darkness babbling about ghosts rising from a graveyard—and the panic is spreading fast through the ranks.

It's a tale where fear itself becomes a weapon on the Korean front.

Shrapnel for Supper

Bob Harmon, an Army cook tasked with delivering supplies to the front lines, finds himself caught in a Communist ambush when his jeep convoy is attacked in the mountains. Separated from his unit and unknowingly behind enemy lines, Harmon must use his wits and whatever tools he has at hand to survive an encounter with Red tanks and infantry. His resourcefulness as a supply driver becomes his greatest asset in a desperate race back to American lines.

The Mythical Armada
1 pp · non-fiction; war

During the Spanish-American War of 1898, Spanish military intelligence concocts a bold deception: spreading rumors of an invasion fleet headed for America's East Coast to paralyze the nation with fear. The U.S. responds by deploying Lt. Pedro Martinez, a Spanish-American agent, who infiltrates Madrid under an assumed identity and works his way into the confidence of Spanish military brass to uncover the truth about the mythical armada. What Martinez discovers sets the stage for a decisive American victory in the Pacific.
