A thorough, tactical level study of a Marine defense of a mountain pass near the Chosin Reservoir in 1950 during the Korean conflict. The maps include the placement of many active members of Fox company. The battle descriptions include the movements of these soldiers and even how they got wounded, obviously requiring the active participation of survivors or an active imagination on the part of the authors.. The strategic situations and the war in general are adequately dealt with, but that is not this book's strongpoint, which is the heroic description of how a small group of Marines survived and held-off the many attacks of thousands of white clad Chinese.

This is a World War Two junkies delight - an incisive look into on one of the lesser know military campaigns shortly after the Normandy invasion. The authors do background things with narratives about North Africa, Italy and the D-Day Invasion itself but the book primarily deals with a a lesser known campaign in northwestern France. The books strength is honing into individual soldier's personal experiences who participated in the action. Colorful men.
