The Court Martial by John Hollands
Here is an authentic and action-packed account of the disastrous retreat from the Manchurian border and the horrific battle that followed on the River Imjin. It is the story of a regiment plagued by internal conflict and it culminates in an officer being charged with rape. His court-martial is among the most remarkable ever portrayed, and the gripping and intriguing ending has a twist of irony that will never be forgotten.
