"Firefight at Yechon" is the harrowing story of Charles M. Bussey,
a former Tuskegee airman and one of the first American combatants
in the Korean War. He led the Seventy-seventh Engineer Combat
Company for 205 days filled with almost continual fighting, during
which he and his fellow American soldiers served with distinction.
They also felt the effects of racism in the U.S. Army and wartime
media, which singled out African American units for blame in the
early days of the war.
"Firefight at Yechon" sets the record straight about the
contribution of African Americans in the Korean War. It also paints
an unforgettably realistic portrait of the terrifying first days of
fighting in 1950, when American soldiers, both black and white,
were reeling under the assault of the North Korean People's Army.
The Seventy-seventh Engineer Combat Company played an instrumental
role in the retaking of Yechon on 20 July, the first major victory
for the U.S. Army. The carnage of that fight and the shining
courage of his fellow soldiers would never be forgotten by
Bussey.
