Hilltop Doc: A Marine Corpsman Fighting Through the Mud and Blood of the Korean War

As a Marine corpsman, Leonard Adreon saw some of the worst of the Korean Warâ€™s carnage and the best of its humanity. His gripping description brings to life the war between the Chinese army and the U.S. Marines as they battled to take the high ground. You will feel the anguish, the frustration and the terror endured by Marines on the hillsides of Korea, and how U.S. troops fought with valor and esprit de corps under adverse conditions and against massive Chinese forces. As a corpsman, Adreon tells the story from the unique perspective of a young man from St. Louis, with no medical background, thrown into the role of saving lives amid the warâ€™s violence. He leavens the grim, emotional, and sometimes ironic battlefield scenes with his background story â€“ of how his own mistakes and the militaryâ€™s bumbling landed him at Koreaâ€™s 38th Parallel.
