Chosin - Heroic Ordeal of the Korean War (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days
|
Told from the point of view of the men in the foxholes and tanks,
outposts and command posts, this is the definitive account of the
epic retreat under fire of the 1st Marine Division from the Chosin
Reservoir during the Korean War. The author first sketches in the
errors and miscalculations on the part of the American high command
that caused the Marines to be strung out at the end of a narrow
road scores of miles from the sea. He then plunges right into the
action: the massing of Chinese forces in about ten-to-one strength;
the Marines' command problems due to the climate and terrain and
high-level over confidence; and the onset of the overwhelming
Chinese assault. With a wealth of tactical detail and small-unit
action, Eric Hammel's masterful account of Chosin offers invaluable
perspective on war at the gut level.
