Needle in the Haystack

A Navy minesweeper crew works to clear dangerous mines from a North Korean harbor so ships can get through safely. One sailor goes on land to find out where the enemy has placed the mines. This exciting story about the U.S. Navy comes from the book "Battle Report: The War War In Korea."

Suspense is a state of anxiety or excitement caused by mysteriousness, uncertainty, doubt, or undecidedness. In a narrative work, suspense is the audience's excited anticipation about the plot or conflict, particularly as it affects a character for whom the audience feels sympathy. However, suspense is not exclusive to narratives.
