It's been years since Brady first wrote of Korea in \u003ci\u003eThe Coldest War, \u003c\/i\u003edrawing raves from Walter Cronkite and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times, \u003c\/i\u003e which called it a superb personal memoir of the way it was. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the spring of 2003, Brady and Pulitzer Prize-winning combat photographer Eddie Adams flew in Black Hawk choppers and trekked the Demilitarized Zone where it meanders into North Korea, interviewing four-star generals and bunking in with tough U.S. recon troops, in Brady's words, raw meat on the point of a sharpened stick. Brady recalls that first time on bloody Hill 749, the men who died there, what happened to the Marines who lived to make it home, and experiences yet again the emotional pull of a lifelong love affair with the Corps in which they all served. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrady summons up the past and illuminates the present, be it the Korea of the forgotten war, the Yanks who fought there long ago, or today's soldiers standing wary sentinel over the scariest place in the world. The result is uplifting, inspiring, often heartbreaking, and this Brady memoir proves as powerful as his first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Brady\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0312332432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312332433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.12w x 0.76d","brand":"James Brady","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522244178175,"sku":"9780312332433","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdaa1f6e-953b-4d09-8ac6-000a7ea99be3.jpg?v=1700156262","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-scariest-place-in-the-james-brady-9780312332433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
