With very little warning, three American military divisions, a good portion of the long-term Occupation forces stationed in Japan at the outset of the summer of 1950, were suddenly rushed by plane and boat onto the southern peninsula of Korea. Their mission: to bolster the army of South Korea, which was struggling to thwart an invasion by the communist North. Lt. Ralph Harrity rode, walked and fought with the 24th Infantry Division from July 6 through September 29, 1950. This book chronicles his experiences and observations during those weeks.
