Call For Blood Steve Doherty

It's 1945, the Japanese war machine is crumbling, and General George C. Marshall wants to deal the enemy a lethal blow using counterintelligence officers behind enemy lines in the China, Burma, and India theater. Their mission? Eliminate the Japanese Army's secret biological and chemical research program known as Unit 731.

United States Army Counterintelligence Agent Jonathan Preston leads the King Cobra team, a group of Allied agents, through the deadly jungle landscape and behind Japanese lines, parachuting into enemy territory, and dodging Japanese patrols and as well poisonous snakes, leeches, tigers, and dozens of deadly tropical diseases.

After King Cobra succeeds in raiding prisoner-of-war camps and freeing hundreds of Allied soldiers-killing Japanese sibling agents in the process-Preston and his colleagues must also evade the team of elite Japanese assassins hell-bent on their demise.

A gripping tale based on actual US counterintelligence missions, Call for Blood explores the little-known crimes and atrocities committed by Unit 731 and gives readers a front row seat for one of the most fascinating dramas of World War II.
