Give Me Tomorrow

The Korean War’s Greatest Untold Story - The Epic Stand of the Marines of George Company

By: Patrick K. O’Donnell

Narrated by: Lloyd James

“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)

Gripping and Inspiring

Mr. O'Donnell is a master at putting you on the battle field. His amazing telling of the story of George Co. 3/1, honors these men while insuring future generations of Marines remember their names. He artfully captures the highs and lows of these men in intense combat while honoring the sacrifices of so many. A definite must read for anyone wanting to know what real American spirit and Patriotism is like.

heartbreaking

every young person should have this as required reading to appreciate their freedom in America

Semper Fi Marines!

Absolutely, a well put together accounting of a heroic last stand of a group of ordinary men and their fight for mere survival!

Outstanding

Content is riveting and narrative is very well done. What these boys went through was absolutely horrific. Some of my friends dads that I knew well would never speak about Korea. Now I know why. Please read or listen.

The boys of Summer Camp….Amazing!!

I would add to the other 5 star comments three things. One, O’Donnell takes time to deliver both the Macro and Micro, detailing interesting behind the scene events. Second, the book is concise and delivers quite the punch for its shorter length. Lastly, O’Donnell really gets it…having spent time with our Marries writing about the battle of Fallujah…I feel he delivers the unique image…the unbelievable hardship and difficulty faced in the Korean War. And to think some of these great men had, on top of the nightmare conditions in Korea…faced epic difficulties in the Pacific fighting the Japanese! Wow... just amazing!!!!
