520 $a"Korea remains the biggest, most brutal war fought by British soldiers since the Second World War, but their critical role in the conflict's pivotal months have never been fully detail;ed until now. After defending South Korea against communist assault, United Nations forces counter-invaded North Korea. It was a march to catastrophe. Among the mountains an ambush lay waiting: China's 'human wave.' In the eye of the storm were the British and Australian soldiers who both spearheaded the UN advance and covered its retreat. Meanwhile, Royal Marines fought desperately in the harrowing battle of Chosin Reservoir [27 November - 13 December 1950]. Drawing on some 90 veterans' accounts of commando raids, bayonet combats, sniper duels and gruesome atrocities, amidst the ... cold of a Korean winter, Andrew Salmon has written ... the definitive account of an immense human tragedy."--Back cover.
