Publisher's summary

“If I were God, what would you want for Christmas?” With a thousand-yard stare, a haggard and bloodied marine looked incredulously at the war correspondent who asked him this question. In an answer that took “almost forever,” the marine responded, “Give me tomorrow.”

After nearly four months of continuous and bloody combat in Korea, such a wish seemed impossible. For many of the men of George Company, or “Bloody George” - one of the Forgotten War’s most decorated yet unrecognized companies - this would be their last day.

This is the epic story of George Company, Spartans for the modern age. After storming ashore at Inchon and fighting house-to-house in Seoul, America’s last reserve unit found itself on the frozen tundra of the Chosin Reservoir facing an entire division of Chinese troops. Little did this small band of men - green troops who had been rushed through training to bring fresh forces to the war - know they would soon be saviors. This is their story, and it will never again be forgotten.

Critic reviews

“O’Donnell’s storytelling is superb…Each page resonates with authenticity.” (Col. Dick Camp (ret.), author of Operation Phantom Fury)

“George Company’s performance at Chosin Reservoir practically defines heroism. O’Donnell brings it to vivid life.” ( Kirkus Reviews)

Unbelievable

O'Donnell does the impossible making the chaos of war and the heart wrenching experience of the soldier comprehendable. Give me Tommorow was hard for me to put down. O'Donnell also doesn't sugar coat or sensationalize anything. I will never see a combat veteran the same.

The Forgotten War

Utterly moving. Let us not forget their sacrifice. The lives that were lost during those years and the lives that are scarred from those events

Stunning true story of brothers in fierce combat

I could not stop listening, though it started slowly. I served in S Korea in the Army on three separate peacekeeping tours. I wish I had this book before going over - it would have given me the proper perspective. Superbly written and read.

Warriors of Ice and Blood

An extremely engrossing account of George Company’s battle at the Chosin Reservoir. If you’ve never read any literature on the Korean War this is an excellent place to begin. Not without reason the Korean war has been called the forgotten war and the extreme hardship these troops went through is something that should never be allowed to be lost to time. Author does an excellent job of putting the reader in these soldiers shoes as they suffered through extreme negative temperatures (sometimes as low as -100° windchill) and human wave attacks. 10/10 would recommend and will read again.

incredible tribute to all those who served.

well written and entertaining. excellent narration and most of all a great tribute to our fighting men. God bless them all.

well told

I saw six marines in Vietnam do the bravest thing I've ever seen. To read this story it puts my service in perspective. God bless the United States marines!

Incredible

Words can’t sum up the emotions I felt after listening to this. Men back then were asked to do things that would make men today cower. It’s amazing how these men had the resolve to do what they did. Amazing story.

Excellent book!

This book does a great job of explaining to the reader the sacrifice, the suffering and true heroism of our Korean vets. Like most Americans, I never really gave the Korean "conflict" too much thought, we just never considered Korea a "real" war, we thought of it as a "police action." Well this book certainly set my thinking straight. This WAS a war and our Korean vets are truly Heros. Thank you for your sacrifice.

great!

a very interesting account of a war most Americans know nothing about, including myself. I really enjoy the readers performance

Read many of these accounts.. still amazed

Battle by battle account of the marines battle in Korea. Greatness is all I can say
