Deacon Cole and Patrol Easy are sent ahead of the main American invasion force on Leyte. Their task is to examine and weaken Japanese defensive positions before soldiers reach the beaches, a mission that requires moving through terrain controlled by enemy patrols and snipers.
Deke must identify firing positions without revealing the approach of the invasion. A Japanese marksman turns reconnaissance into a personal contest, while delay threatens the troops already committed to the landing schedule. The patrol’s success depends on destroying enough of the defence to prevent the beachhead from becoming a massacre.
