Robert Leckie published three standalone novels across his career, all drawing on the military history expertise that defined his non-fiction work. The March To Glory (1960) tells the story of the Marine withdrawal from the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War, a subject Leckie had covered in his non-fiction. Blood of The Seventeen Fires (1983) and The General (1991) round out his fiction output.
These novels are minor entries in a bibliography dominated by non-fiction military history, but they show Leckie applying his historical knowledge through a fictional lens. The March To Glory in particular demonstrates how his combat experience and historical research combined to create vivid military narratives, whether factual or fictional.
