Description
The Epic British Stand on the Imjin River, Korea 1951 The Battle of the Imjin River, fought in 1951, was one of the most notorious and celebrated battles in the Korean War from a British perspective. This book tells the story of the 29th Infantry Brigade's last stand against the largest communist offensive of the war, with the Gloster Regiment's "Glorious Glosters" at its centre. The battle lasted three days, with hand-to-hand combat and a devastating outcome: one battalion of the Glosters was reduced to just 50 survivors. Andrew Salmon's account is based on extensive use of eyewitness accounts from veterans, whom he has tracked down and interviewed. Salmon's narrative is pacy and accessible, painting a moving picture of the battle through the voices of those who lived it. This book is a powerful and moving portrayal of one of the most forgotten conflicts of the 20th century. First published in hardback, this paperback edition brings the story of the Imjin River to a wider audience.
