Product Description:
A non-fiction account of the annihilation of the 29th Infantry Regiment dispatched from the occupation of Okinawa to the Korean War at the earliest stage of the conflict. Author Paul G. Petredis, one of 21 survivors out of 235, chronicles his first escape, details the ongoing bloody battles which culminated with the entry of the Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) opposing the United Nations Forces. Following capture and eluding death again by escaping from the enemy, he describes his ordeal in graphic detail of 14 days behind enemy lines, bringing the reader along vicariously on the same horrific journey.

Rating: - Escape From North Korea
Just finished reading Paul Petredis' terrific effort. I am the current President of the 35th Infantry Regiment Association and I found the historical aspects of the story to be of particular interest. Paul's story is riveting. I liked the fact that he didn't try and make it a story of personal heroism. As they say in Dragnet "Just the Facts, Mam" and that's what Paul gave us but they were interesting facts and interesting reading. Seems like there should of been a movie come out of this. Thanks ...

Rating: - Escape From North Korea
This is the most gripping, facinating non-fiction book I have ever read. It shows the will to survive in the face of overwhelming odds. I wish every high school student would read this book and discover the meaning of a true hero. It is very different from what the movies portray. I recommend reading this book. You won't want to put it down.

Escape From North Korea by Paul G Petredis
His book is superbly researched and a darn good read of the Forgotten War and the path which lead to it. His personal experience being a soldier in Korea and surviving the conflict gives great credit to him as a man, and his narrative about how he escaped from North Korea is almost beyond description, and should be a must read for anyone who enters the US Military Service. Hope to see future writings by Paul Petredis.

Rating: - INSIGHT INTO IRAQ & OUR SOLDIERS
WOW... war becomes real on these pages, almost too real, and from a soldier with his first-hand account. I found it to be a story of survival and determination, and a credit to the author and to our military. I suppose the most significant part of this story, is the insight into what our soldiers are facing everyday in the Middle East. It should be "must" reading for every person in our Armed Forces, as to what to expect, and how to overcome the impending obstacles, in battle and if captured. An excellent ... Read More
