A Novel About The Korean War and The McCarthy Spy Hunt Apr 14, 2007
Author John H. Gallagher takes on the military and even Senator Joe McCarthy in his historical fictionalized story about the Korean War "Grady's Tour". Most books do not take on such a complete stretch of history, in this case, four years that covers both the war and afterwards.
The book has some great action sequences in Korea that will satisfy almost all military buffs who enjoy reading a good war novel. The book goes into an area that most writers of this genre do not. It deals with issues beyond the war itself and takes on the great spy hunt at home by people like Joe McCarthy. It raises some questions and it might open old historic wounds for some people.
Readers will get their money's worth; as the book is well over 500 pages long and is entertaining through out!

GRADY'S TOUR REVIEW Nov 29, 2005
John Gallagher has written an outstanding fictional account of American military history --early 1950's era. Having been in Korea during the conflict,I feel the author hit the nail on the head. I sincerely hope there will be another "John Grady" novel.

Ron's review Nov 01, 2005
This novel ranks with with Once an Eagle. It is a compelling pageturner that I found hard to put down. Well written and fast moving with military and historical accuracy this is a story of a four year tour of dury in the US Army just before and into the Korean War. No punches pulled about military screwups or battleground horrors. This book demands a sequel to tell us how John Grady continues in civilian life.
