After China's November 1950 intervention in the war and the
subsequent battle of the Chosin Reservoir, UN forces faced a new
onslaught in the spring of 1951 with over 350,000 veteran troops
attacking along the Imjin River.The US 3rd Infantry Division took
the brunt of the attack along with the attached British 29th
Infantry Brigade which included the Gloucestershire Regiment (the
"Glosters"). The heroic defence of the American and British forces
would pass into legend, most especially the doomed effort of the
Glosters, as they sought to buy time for the rest of the UN forces
to regroup and organise an effective defence of Seoul, the South
Korean capital city. Featuring full colour commissioned artwork,
maps and first-hand accounts, this is the compelling story of one
of the most epic clashes of the Korean War.
