The Blue Sandbags of Korea

Searching for his path in life, seventeen year old Norman Boyle enlists in the Army in 1949 and finds himself in Korea at the start of the war. As a demolition specialist, he leads a squad on dangerous missions, one to blow up the Pyongyang power plant. This first hand account of the day to day existence of a young man thrown into a war he doesn't understand will resonate with veterans, history enthusiasts and anyone who has wondered about war: the danger, the bonds that form, the death, the honor. The Blue Sand Bags of Korea gives a rare glimpse into the mind of a soldier who is struggling to find his own identity and values in a confusing and foreign world. This story is as gripping today as it was when these true events unfolded.
