New W.E.B. Griffin novel set in Korean War

[Ed Evanhoe <gangster@korean-war.com>]

W.E.B. Giffin's (William E. Butterworth) new novel, UNDER FIRE, will be 
released next week.  This is the 9th book in his "The Corps" series. I 
received an advance copy and found it very enjoyable.

  All previous "The Corps" novels have been set in World War Two.  In UNDER 
FIRE begins just prior to the beginning of the Korean War and uses a 
(fictional) intelligence failure event that allowed the North Koreans to 
catch us with our pants down, plus the sad state of the military at that 
time as the opening, following with a excellent description of mauling our 
troops received during the opening days, finishing with a fictionalized, 
but more-or-less accurate, account of a little known, highly successful 
special operation to clear the Inch'on Approach Islands of North Koreans 
prior to Inch'on Landing by U.S. X Corps.

The main thing to remember if you read it, it is a FICTION novel.
