From the rear cover
In Pat Frank's classic 1951 war novel, 126 soldiers commence a long, harrowing journey at Changjin Reservoir during the height of the Korean War, but few will survive the grueling fight and eventually reach Hungnam. Vividly bringing to life their bravery, daring, and turmoil, Hold Back the Night reveals their gripping stories.
Captain Mackenzie, commander of Dog Company, not only bears the responsibility for victory or defeat but also feels the full weight of the emotional toll on him and his troops. His one inspiration for his band of soldiers is an unopened bottle of Scotch that holds bittersweet memories as a gift from his wife.
Sergeant Ekland, a cocky, determined communications sergeant, is due for a battlefield promotion and longs for the day his tour is over so he can be reunited with his fiance--that is, if he makes it out of Korea alive.
Private Couzens finds himself in a precarious situation with the enemy due to circumstances beyond his control, which causes his loyalties to come into question by his superiors.
In this thrilling novel, readers will follow these men and their fellow soldiers through a crucial chapter in American history.
