Most editions of this work include a great amount of commentary from various editors, making the work more difficult to understand.

War in the East is the fourth book in Martin Archer’s acclaimed Soldiers and Marines saga.

The United States and some of its men are sucked into the intense fighting because Congress approved a naïve American Secretary of State’s treaty to end an earlier ...
