A pre-nuclear North Korean invasion of the South and American and South Korean effort to stop it. The exciting war fiction focuses on a tank unit that seeks to slow the advance...when I was in Korea in the 1960's, that was the plan: slow the North Koreans until help arrived from the US. In this case, the North Korean leader has a strategy that he feels will get him possession of the neighbor to the south before there can be a reaction. Very authentic stuff from an Army officer who commanded a major armor unit in Korea. ( )
