OPERATION KILLER: THE SAVAGE SLAUGHTER…


The war in Korea was not, officially, a war, even though men died fighting it. The conditions were unlike those encountered in any other theatre of war. In this novel, based on some of the experiences of the author, we meet men of the 23rd Regiment of the United States Second Infantry Division. The year: 1951. The place: Chipyong-Ni, the scene of the last major offensive by the Red Chinese.


In this stark, tough, and at times, crude book, Harry Sanford makes no attempt to psycho-analyse the men, but rather to analyse the situations in which they found themselves. It is a sincerely written story and—the author assures us—a true picture of men at war.
