On Desperate Ground: The Marines at the Reservoir, the Korean War's Greatest Battle by Hampton Sides

5.0

I knew nothing of the Korean war when I started this book. In my opinion, Sides does an excellent job managing countless "characters" and multiple settings while writing an interesting narrative that reads a lot like a work of fiction. Primarily a fiction reader myself, I'm finding creative non-fiction authors like Sides and Erik Larson an excellent way to broaden my knowledge and still maintain that much needed escape that reading fiction provides.
