"At the pivotal battles of Twin Tunnels and Chipyong-ni in February 1951, U.N. forces met and contained large-scale attacks by Chinese forces. Colonel Paul Freeman and the larger-than-life colonel Ralph Monclar led the American 23rd Infantry Regiment and the French Bataillon de Cor?e, respectively, in the fierce and dangerous battles that followed the ... U.N. retreat down the Korean Peninsula. In Leadership in the crucible, Kenneth E. Hamburger details the actions of the units in the United Nations counteroffensive following the Chinese intervention, including routine patrols, the harrowing battle of Twin Tunnels, and the pivotal siege of Chipyong-ni. The regiment was cut off from artillery fire support and was resupplied only by parachute drops. Repeatedly attacked by superior Chinese forces during the two nights and final day of fighting, the U.N. units finally welcomed relief by the armored Task Force Crombez of the 1st Cavalry Division"--Jacket.
