Searching for his path in life; seventeen year old Norman Boyle enlists in the Army in 1949 and finds himself in Korea at the start of the war. As a demolition specialist; he leads a squad on dangerous missions; one to blow up the Pyongyang power plant. This first hand account of the day to day existence of a young man thrown into a war he doesn't understand will resonate with veterans; history enthusiasts and anyone who has wondered about war: the danger; the bonds that form; the death; the honor. The Blue Sand Bags of Korea gives a rare glimpse into the mind of a soldier who is struggling to find his own identity and values in a confusing and foreign world. This story is as gripping today as it was when these true events unfolded.
