The Bridges at Toko-Ri: A Novel

In one of his beloved early bestsellers, Pulitzer Prize-winning author James A. Michener details the exploits of the American men who fought the Korean War in the air, as well as their lives on the ground. Young and innocent, they arrive in a place they have barely ever heard of, on a ship massive enough to carry planes and helicopters. Trained as professionals, they prepare for the rituals of war that countless men have endured, just as frightened as those that came before. They are American fighter pilots. Together they face an enemy they do not understand, knowing their only hope for survival is to win.
