The Last Parallel: A Marines War Journal (1999) By Martin Russ
 
Long regarded as one of the best books about combat ever written, The Last Parallel -- an undisputed classic of the Korean War -- is back in print. A national bestseller and a Book-of-the-Month Club main selection, The Last Parallel "ranks top among combat soldiers' war records of all time", said Fred T. Marsh in The New York Herald Tribune.
 
John P. Marquand in the Book-of-the-Month Club News concurred: "The Last Parallel is about the best account of combat I have read. One could even rate it as a higher achievement in some respects than that classic, The Red Badge of Courage ... Every reader will see death and danger as Sergeant Russ saw it. He will wince at the explosion of the mortar shells. Vicariously he will struggle every step of the way as Russ and his companions bring back the dead and wounded ... it is the best pro-Marine book yet to be published and one that should be read by mothers, wives, and sweethearts, as well as everyone who has worn a uniform".
