It was totally unbelievable the way that all the military people were being disrespectful, etc., etc. I almost rated this last book a 3 star instead of 4 but since it delved into actual factual history of the Marine Corps I couldn't rate it that low for that reason alone. I hope there is at least one more novel in the series coming out to tie up everything. But Griffin smashes them all together into one nuclear story.I fell in love with Griffin's series about the Corps and have read all his awesome works. 2. Please do not tell my husband! If you got a target, shoot at it.”The men on the ground were not the only ones unprepared for Chinese intervention. The Chosin Reservoir battle has become one of the most storied exploits of grit and sacrifice in Marine Corps history.

Major Ken "Killer" McCoy is about to be separated from the Marine Corps due to an intelligence report he submitted that disagrees with General MacArther's beliefs regarding Korea. By the time of his graduation and 18th birthday in 1945, he switched gears, signing up for the Marine Corps. At night, however, these “sweat packs” ended up freezing around the men’s feet. I'm glad it was the final book in the series. It was the dark of night. As with the earlier books I think he spent way too much time rehashing the previous parts of the series.

Over the following weeks, the U.S. and its allies transformed Pusan from a ragtag refuge to holding a well-equipped point of departure for General MacArthur’s boldest and most successful strategic move in the Korean War. Whited and White not only feel let down by Tokyo, but they have little good to say about General MacArthur who, after Chosin, pressed to expand the war into and against China.
We won!” says Whited of the war that ended, for all intents and purposes, in a stalemate. !I actually loved the book as a conclusion of the Korean War story. Casualties were high. It ends as the Chinese are coming across the line at the Chosin Reservoir. I did not understand the details of how daring an operation the Incheon landing was, or how much it depended on secrecy toI had spent a year in Korea with the 503rd Infantry at Camp Casey before I read this book, and I knew the bullet points of that war, ROK (Republic of Korea) + Task Force Smith pushed back to the Naktong river aka Pusan Perimeter, Macarthur lands at Incheon destroying the Nork army then racing up the peninsula and then stopped and pushed back by the Chinese counter-offensive.

And I looked at my weapon and thought, ‘I need to change this.’” Like many Marines and Infantrymen in the Korean War, Whited felt ill-equipped for the type of combat he faced there.Whited and his anti-tank unit spent the coming days crawling up mountainsides to use their 75-millimeter recoilless “rifle”—a shoulder-mounted anti-tank weapon—to bust Chinese bunkers.
