Fans of "M.A.S.H." (and who isn't?) will enjoy this tale of sexual and military intrigue during the Korean War. Winner of a gold medal for historical fiction by the Military Writers Society of America, the narrative jumps about in time from a young woman's murder in 1950s Tokyo to a burial in Punchbowl in 1969. The Honolulu author's suspenseful plot is nicely carried by sparse, clean prose.

Just when you think you've figured out what happens next, McMahon throws a ten-pound sledgehammer through your preconceptions. It's an edge-of-your-seat thriller by a top-flight talent. Truly, The Dark Side of Glory is a stunning triumph! --Dwight Jon Zimmerman, award-winning military historian and #1 New York Times bestselling author. President.
