Description
The Epic Story of Chosin Reservoir: A Heroic Battle in the Korean War In October 1950, General Douglas MacArthur predicted that the Communist forces would be defeated by Thanksgiving. However, 300,000 Red Chinese soldiers secretly crossed the Manchurian border, setting a trap for the American forces. Led by the First Marine Division, the Americans moved deep into the snowy mountains of North Korea towards the frozen shores of the Chosin Reservoir. Faced with probable annihilation and temperatures plummeting to 20 degrees below zero, the surrounded Marines fought through enemy forces with ferocity, ingenuity, and courage as they marched their way to the sea. This is a story of heroism and resilience, told through years of archival research, unpublished letters, declassified documents, and interviews with survivors. Hampton Sides' account of this epic clash provides a gripping narrative of one of the most heroic operations in American military history.
