The Retreat #6: Forlorn Hope

The road has been punishing.Traveling from Boston to ill-fated Fort Drum, then on to Philadelphia, and again to Mount Weather and Fort Stewart, the First Battalion, 55th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division (Light) is run out, blown out, and virtually waiting for death's embrace. Now at the border of Georgia and Florida, the battalion receives new Encamp at Moody Air Force Base......and call in the Klowns.Lieutenant Colonel Harry Lee knows this will spell the end of the battalion. But executing the mission could mean the the difference between life and death...not for the 1/55th, but for what remains of the United States of America.Lee took an oath when he enlisted with the US Army. But he hadn't thought it was a suicide contract...
