Samenvatting
The doomed Chinese city of Shunkien was being systematically destroyed. Japans war machine was pounding wreckage into asheswiping out a city that had thrived since the time of Genghis Khan.
One of the few buildings still standing is the American consulate where one hundred and sixteen US refugees are facing almost certain death, either from high explosives, the ravages of starvation or Asiatic cholera.
Unbeknownst to the refugees, their fate rests in the hands of one Marine-- Gunnery Sergeant James Mitchell--and his ability to negotiate two hundred miles of occupied territory in order to bring desperately needed gold and medicine, while overcoming bullets, dive bombers, butchery and his own personal nemesisalcohol.
Add to these seemingly insurmountable odds, a seductive American fan-dancer who hitches along for the ride and saving the lives of the hostages is far from a fait accompli.
As a young man, Hubbard visited Manchuria, where his closest friend headed up British intelligence in northern China. Hubbard gained a unique insight into the hostile political climate between China and Japana knowledge that informs stories like Orders Is Orders. In addition, he served as a First Sergeant with the 20th United States Marine Corps Reservegiving him first-hand knowledge of what it means to be a Marine.
Demonstrating his unique ability to relate even to the most complicated story with a keen eye for detail and realism, Hubbards stunning writing ability and creative imagination set him apart as one of the greatest literary figures of the 20th century.Publishers Weekly
