A true story from a war I new nothing about, except for M*A*S*H 4077. L. Todd Wood has surpassed himself in his writing, he fills the void of actually how dedicated the greatest generation was and still is. He honers those who are the quiet heroes that walk amongst us. At 58 yrs old while on a Mexican beach reading this book, I found myself tearing up, then laughing, as I had been put in some of the same predicaments. All I could think to myself, was I wish I had met all of them, these quiet heroes.
Lost Bastards is based upon real events in 1953 on the front lines of the Korean War. The story follows a unit of U.S. Soldiers on a classified mission in support of Republic of Korea (ROK) troops. This Forgotten War is not well known by most and this book is a good look into what these soldiers faced while working side by side with our ally. This story reminds us that these soldiers were also part of The Greatest Generation and just like the veterans of WWII, deserve our respect and gratitude.
I found this book to be an easy read. Once I started it, I had to finish it. Unlike his other books, this book starts slow and the action builds slowly from beginning to end.
L Todd Wood is an emerging star. Those that enjoy Tom Clancy, Dale Brown and W.E.B. Griffin will likely enjoy his works.
