A history devoted to U.S. Marines in the Korean War era. The race to the Yalu River was on after Gen. of the Army Douglas MacArthur's strategic triumph at Inchon & the subsequent breakout of the U.S. 8th Army from the Pusan Perimeter & the recapture of Seoul, which had changed the direction of the war. At the end of 1950 began one of the Marine Corps' greatest battles -- or, as the Corps would call it, the Chosin Reservoir Campaign.Ó The Marines called it the ChosinÓ Reservoir because that is what their Japanese-based maps called it; the South Koreans insisted that it be called the ChangjinÓ Reservoir. Includes the photos & actions of the Marines who won Medals of Honor in this campaign. B&W photos & maps.
