KOREA THE LOST WAR
by Bevin Alexander

For the United States the Korean War was long & of little or no value to its global situation. Alexander demonstrates how the US could have avoided confrontation with Red china if it had correctly interpreted clear signals. Two additional years of dismal, static warfare claimed hundreds of thousands of dead & wounded and did not change the outcome of the conflict.

THE GRUNTS
by Charles R Anderson

The true story of what happened to one US Marine company during a 58 Day Operation in Vietnam. It is the story of the infantrymen who bore the brunt of the fighting, crawled up one jungle-covered hill only to crawl down the other side, steaming in the tropical heat and aching for a sip of water. And when he came home there was no flag waving heroes' welcome, just cold indifference, and often no job.
