An incredible account of one of the least remembered conflicts in American history. The book jumps around from story to story, interweaving them all with expert precision. A fantastic jumping off point for those looking to learn more about the Korean War and sure to spark curiosity to learn more.

I bought the book to gain an understanding of the events at the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean Conflict, and I came away with that understanding, as well as a strong interest in learning more. I don't think I can day anything more favorable about a history book.
