Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Ed Simmons’s evocative writing cuts through the mists of half a century to bring into stark relief a proud Corps of Marines in one of their darkest and finest hours.” W.E.B. Griffin

“A superb novel. It works as a story of the Korean War and the U.S. Marine Corps, but also as a probe into the deepest reaches of the human condition.” Jim Lehrer

“An intense, psychological novel by a retired Marine general who fought in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam and knows how to write. [Simmons is] a master at technical details.” USA Today

“A fresh, compelling look at the forgotten war and the tough men of the old breed who fought it. General Simmons’s insights into the tactics, personalities, and minutiae of battle make this a first-rate combat narrative.” James Webb, author of Fields of Fire

“Will bring you to tears of sorrow and tears of joy.” Leon Uris

“Excellent...Simmons writes with the salty authority of a man who has seen war.” Publishers Weekly

“Not just an action-adventure story though it is that, to be sure but a starkly realistic portrait of infantry combat.” Marine Corps Gazette

“The best autobiographical novel to come out of the Korean War.” Leatherneck
