They Shouldn't Have Invaded Finland

The Winter War was a brutal struggle against a determined human enemy and the unforgiving cold, dangers the Red Army knew and understood.

Something In My Room

For a soldier on guard duty, the mind can wander, but the senses must remain sharp for any sign of the enemy. Imagine the chilling confusion, then, when the figure that emerges from the darkness is not a Viet Cong fighter, but the impossible specter of a Roman soldier, speaking a dead language to deliver an eternal warning.

The Devil's Food

The rules of engagement are clear when facing another army, but they are useless against a more primal foe. From the African plains to the mangrove swamps of Burma, soldiers discovered that the greatest danger wasn't the enemy in the opposite trench, but the man-eaters that saw both sides as nothing more than prey.

Project Blue Book

On the frozen battlefields of the Korean War, American soldiers faced down the overwhelming force of the Chinese army.

Celestial Battle

For the people of 16th-century Europe, the sky was a place of divine mystery, not a battlefield for mortal men. But in 1566, the heavens over Basel, Switzerland, became just that, as hundreds of dark spheres waged a mysterious war before the eyes of the citizens below.

Something These Men Could Not Explain

In the brutal calculus of war, survival is often credited to skill, luck, or the simple whim of fate. But for some soldiers, the difference between life and death came as a warning from the most unlikely of sources: a messenger who was already dead.
