Secrets of Inchon The Untold Story of the Most Daring Covert Mission of the Korean War

Retrieved from a safe-deposit box, this stunning firsthand account of a crucial, but little-known, covert mission of the Korean War offers an honest, revealing, and remarkable story of wartime courage-from the very man who led the mission. According to his colleagues, Commander Eugene Franklin Clark had "the nerves of a burglar and the flair of a Barbary Coast Pirate." And in August of 1950, when General Douglas MacArthur made the unpopular decision to invade Inchon-a move considered by many to be tactical suicide-he sent in Clark to find out what they needed to know. Discovered by North Koreans, he soon found his intelligence gathering interrupted by firefights, air raids, hand-to-hand combat, and even a small-scale naval battle. Culminating in the night of the invasion, Clark's account, informed by a growing brotherhood with his newfound allies, is rich in both adventure and humanity.Clark, Eugene Franklin is the author of 'Secrets of Inchon The Untold Story of the Most Daring Covert Mission of the Korean War' with ISBN 9780425190005 and ISBN 0425190005.
