2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy Joseph W ParkerThis is a very well written history on the phase of the Korean War when the UN forces finally managed to stop the Chinese Communist offense that had begun at the Yalu in late 1950 and continuing until 20 February 1951. It presents the war-fighting ability of the allied forces; warts and all; citing archival records; battle reports; interviews of persons; and the experience of the author. Viewpoints of generals and privates alike or included in the narrative. The timeline ends with the action at Sillim-ni; the last fight before the UN forces go into the offensive and finally turning the tide against the Chinese. If the author has a weakness; it is his rather poor use of maps; which are often borrowed from other sources and do not fully assist his narrative. Otherwise; this is an incredible read on the bravery; futility; and horror of war in the dead of winter in a place few people had heard of at the time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great OverviewBy Andrew L. HouseAn informative work on an important but obscure campaign in an important but obscure war. Great overview of the campaign; learned a lot about Massacre Valley. Greater primer to read before reading more detailed work about battles like Chipyong-ni.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Anin outstanding essay on the battles around WonjuBy Betty WeisingerThis is absoluely outstanding essay of the actions of the 187 Airborne Inf RCT and tje 2nd Div in the decisive battles around Wonju and Chipyong Ni in central Korea in Jan ans Feb 1951. Col Coleman's research was clearly oustanding. His remarks about the command relationships were right on; as were his detailed descriptions of small unit actions. This is an oustanding piece of work
