Saga of a Lesser War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781642375558)

Saga of a Lesser War is an intense account of the early stages of the Korea War candidly presented without pretense or heroic embellishment. The novel provides a unique fictional journey that traces the lives of two young American soldiers, who from a common beginning diverge to their separate fates: one heroic and the other treasonous. Involved in the course of action is a diverse cast of related characters, military and civilian, foreign and native, each confronting a range of moral issues. The tragic drama evolves over a realm that extends from the backstreets of Yokohama to the power center of Japan: the Dai Ichi Building in Tokyo, to the treacherous landscape of Korea. The period and setting is an accurate fictional portrayal of events that serves to inform, entertain and reveal a largely disregarded time and place in history.
