Give Michael Prichard a great book to narrate, and you'll hear him at his best. He tells the gripping story of a company of U.S. Marines defending a mountain pass in North Korea during the outbreak of the war in 1950. Under the worst hardships imaginable a few men hold off thousands of Chinese soldiers, fight bitter cold, and have little to eat, while being supplied by air with grenades that don't work and ammunition for weapons they don't have. Prichard takes full advantage of the colorful writing: "The commanding officer's voice could have scoured a stove." He makes the dire circumstances so real one can feel the emotions of the men dying to fight Communism in a frozen valley no one ever heard of.
