Summary

In this seventh book in the series, boys learn about The Korean War (1950-53), also known as the “The Forgotten War.” Despite more than 2 million casualties, most people—young and old—can not fully explain this international conflict or why the United States sacrificed so much treasure to fight it.

But your son will learn about stunning modern warfare—ensuring history is anything but “forgotten.”

Here are some of the exciting chapters:

- The North Korean invasion of South Korea the triggered the war

- The “Chosin Few" who courageously survived a harrowing retreat that should’ve brought certain death.

- The life and times of US Marine Corps legend, Louis “Chesty” Puller

- Infamous and catastrophic battles including Naktong River, Twin Tunnels, Samdong-Ni, Bloody Ridge, Pork Chop Hill—and much more!

Filled with biographies of heroic soldiers and Marines, and suggestions for movies the whole family can enjoy, this true story moves through the battles in chronological order. Boys also learn about the war's politics, the geography of Asia, and the stark difference between a democratic government and a Communist system.

If your son enjoys action-packed stories, authentic details, and short but exciting chapters, he’ll love this book.
