Blurb: 
Retreat, hell! We"re just attacking in another direction!" -General O.P. Smith It is the fall of 1950. The Marines have made a pivotal breakthrough at Inchon, but a rollercoaster awaits them. The bit in his teeth, General Douglas MacArthur surges across the 38th Parallel towards the Yalu River, only to encounter the Chinese in full force, who drive him back in turn. Back and forth, the bloody tides of war shift, and, swept along with them, Major Ken McCoy and Master Gunner Ernie Zimmerman, caught in the fight of their lives; Brigadier General Fleming Pickering, working desperately to mediate the escalating battle between MacArthur and Truman; and Pickering"s daredevil pilot son, Pick, lost somewhere behind enemy lines-and maybe lost forever.
