描述
In late summer 1950, under-equipped, under-gunned British and Australian troops joined United Nations forces defending a South Korea reeling from invasion by the communist North. As the tide turned, 27th Infantry Brigade 1st Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 1st Middlesex and 3rd Royal Australian Regiment spearheaded the counterattack into North Korea, decimating North Koreas army. Meanwhile, the elite 41 Commando, Royal Marines was raiding deep behind enemy lines. With victory imminent, men expected to be home by Christmas. It was not to be. In a shock onslaught launched out of Manchurian blizzards, Maos legions stormed south. Fighting for survival, 27th Brigade broke free of a closing trap before holding open the route for US units escaping a massive ambush. Then, as rearguard, it covered broken UN forces and desperate refugees fleeing through an apocalyptic winter warscape of devastated villages, blown bridges and burning cities. And on the wars most harrowing battleground, 41 Commando braved Hellfire Valley to reinforce besieged US marines surrounded amid North Koreas most hostile mountains. What followed the breakout from Chosin Reservoir to the sea - remains the most epic fighting withdrawal of modern history. Though Korea remains the biggest, bloodiest, most brutal war fought by British troops since World War II, the story of their central role in the conflicts most terrible months has never been fully told. Far more than mere battlefield history, Andrew Salmons book draws on interviews with some 90 veterans and survivors to pain an unforgettable portrait of an immense human tragedy.

<p>The first year of the Korean War was a tumultuous series of epic battles, ending in a legendary and harrowing retreat. In the summer of 1950, British and Australian troops were dispatched to fight with UN forces in the savage struggle against communism in Korea. After both triumph and tragedy while breaking out of the &#8220;Pusan Perimeter,&#8221; 27th Brigade &#8211; the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the Middlesex battalions, soon joined by the Royal Australians &#8211; spearheaded the UN drive north. After a spectacular series of battles, victory beckoned. 27th Brigade was halted to allow the Americans the glory of reaching the Chinese border. But across the rugged border, in a shock counter-offensive, China stormed south. In a desperate action, 27th Brigade fought its way out of the trap, to join the UN Command on a harrowing, 200-mile &#8216;bug out.&#8221; And across the peninsula, surrounded by eight enemy divisions in terrain higher than Cassino and temperatures colder than Stalingrad, 41 Commando fought alongside US Marines at Chosin Reservoir &#8211; &#8216;Hellfire Valley&#8217;, the most nightmarish battle fought by American or British troops in living memory - and escaped annihilation by a hair&#8217;s breadth.<br></p>

"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
