The Run-Up to the Punchbowl : A Memoir of the Korean War, 1951

Descripción

"Nineteen fifty-one was the critical year in the Korean War, when the Chinese and North Korean armies drining south-then a surging Red Tide-were stopped cold. And, after the decisive battles of that spring, the Furst Marine Division attacked north from Chunchon to the Hwachon Reservoir, through Yanggu and on to the Punch Bowl. This is the story of that campaign in the words of John Nolan and six other Marine 2nd Lts, rifle platoon leaders who had arrived in Korea in the late spring of 1951, in time for the savage fighting and heavy casualties in the mountains of the East Central front. This was the operation that Marine legend Bigfoot Brown called 'bloody work, the hardest fighting I have ever seen'." This book has 283 pages and is illustrated. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
