For these Men, Jumping out of a Plane behind Enemy Lines is All in a Day's Work.

In the heat of the Korean War, Allied forces have a problem: the North Korean army is using a network of old Japanese tunnels to run military operations against the South, with near impunity. Now, the U.S. military will turn to an elite, highly trained and fearless group of men to find out where these tunnels lie-and destroy them once and for all.

The Hills Went Boom!, from Korean War veteran Hank Acker, follows this newly formed reconnaissance unit-consisting of 11 U.S. Marines and one U.S. Navy corpsman-as they prepare to airdrop into hostile territory in three separate and dangerous missions. The men couldn't be more different, with varied backgrounds, interests and skills. But in the process, they'll learn to rely on each other in ways they never thought possible-and form a kind of bond only known to those who have served their country under the most difficult circumstances. And with one final and most challenging directive to complete, they'll need every bit of support they can muster...

Fast-paced, frankly realistic and action-packed, The Hills Went Boom! is a unique glimpse into men whose honor, determination and sheer guts has one objective: to serve their country. Hoorah!
