It has too many factual errors to count. It appears the author knew nothing about the mission of the ASA; nor what they actually did. The picture of the GI's life there could not have been further from the truth. The relationship between Oji Camp and the Korean War is pure (and poor) fiction and does a disservice to those people who were actually involved. The basic story line had so many flaws it is ridiculous.It was like the author spent a weekend at Oji Camp; then wrote about his impressions. I was there in 1950; the time claimed by the book; and am thoroughly knowledgeable about life there and what was going on. It appears the author just made up a crazy; unlikely story and set it in Oji Camp. It would have been better if the setting were somewhere else and the title reflected that fact. Then I would not have wasted my time reading it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Terrible read.By EdThe price was good; but the book itself was poorly written and poorly edited. Would not recommend; especially to anyone who was actually stationed there.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Disgraceful!!!!By h pThis was the POOREST excuse for a published book that I have EVER read. And the editor DARED to show her name on the cover??? The punctuation was deplorable. Misspellings abounded. Most third graders can use "there" and "they're" correctly; but not this editor! I lost count early on; but the errors had to number in the hundreds. Even the back cover couldn't get it right: it's instead of its; illicit instead of elicit. I kept having to put the book down in disgust.
