Description
The Frozen Hours: A Novel of the Korean War by Jeff Shaara is a gripping account of one of the most pivotal battles in military history. In June 1950, the North Korean army invaded South Korea, prompting a US-led force to defend against overwhelming odds. As the Allies fought to drive the North Koreans back, they were met with an unexpected and brutal counterattack by Chinese forces, who had entered the war on their side. The Battle of Chosin Reservoir became a desperate struggle for survival, with soldiers facing extreme cold weather and vastly superior numbers. Through multiple perspectives, including that of a commanding general, a World War II veteran, and a Chinese commander, Shaara brings to life the intense and often brutal fighting that took place during this pivotal campaign.
