Summary:

It is the fall of 1950. The Marines have made a pivotal breakthrough at Inchon but a roller coaster awaits them. The bit in his teeth, Douglas MacArthur is intent on surging across the 38th parallel toward the Yau River, where hi is certain no Chinese are waiting for him, while Major Ken McCoy, operating undercover, hears a different story entirely, and is just as intent on nailing down the truth before it is too late. Meanwhile, Brigadier General Fleming Pickering, shuttling between two continents, works desperately to mediate the escalating battle between MacArthur and President Harry Truman, while trying to keep his mind form the cold fact the somewhere out there his own daredevil pilot son, Pick, is lost behind enemy line - and may be forever.
