Autumn 1950, and the US Marines have made a crucial breakthrough at Inchon during the Korean conflict. But the battle would never be that straightforward for MacArthur, as he discovers when he meets the full force of the Chinese Army on his way to the Yalu River.
No one captures the drama of war as brilliantly as bestselling author W.E.B. Griffin. The Corps is his multi-volume portrait of the Marine Corps, the brave men and women who fought, loved and died in the sweeping turmoil of WW II. COUNTERATTACK, the third book in the series, highlights America's first bold counterstrike against the Japanese: Guadalcanal. Bitterly resisted by Japanese troops, the U.S. Marines fought a close, bloody and gruelling battle to its successful conclusion.
The attack on Pearl Harbour swept America into the heart of World War II. The stormy South Pacific presented a daring new challenge, and the men of the Marine Corps were ready to fight. A story of lovers and fighters, leaders and heroes.
This latest volume in the Corps series takes the U.S. Marines from Midway to Guadalcanal. Navy Cpt. Fleming Pickering travels to various headquarters, reporting events to the secretary of the Navy; recently promoted Cpt. Charley Galloway forms a new fighter squadron; Sgt. John Moore is a Japanese-language expert on a top-secret intelligence assignment. Griffin ( Counterattack ) employs a surprisingly effective alternative to military fiction's usual foxhole-and-cockpit perspective-
