In November 1950 The US 1st Marine Division was trapped in the
Chosin Reservoir following the intervention of Red China in the
Korean War. Fought during the worst blizzard in a century, the
ensuing battle is considered by the United States Marine Corps to
be 'the Corps' Finest Hour.' The soldiers who fought there would
later become known as the `Frozen Chosen'. Published now in
paperback, this incredible story is based on first hand interviews
from surviving veterans, telling of heroism and bravery in the face
of overwhelming odds, as a handful of Marines fought desperately
against wave after wave of Chinese forces. Sometimes forced into
desperate hand to hand combat, the fighting retreat from Chosin
marked one of the darkest moments for Western forces in Korea, but
would go on to resonate with generations of Marines as a symbol of
the Marine Corps' dogged determination, fighting skill, and
never-say-die attitude on the battlefield.
