Book Description
The United States battled the Vietnam War to contain the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia, explicitly from North Vietnam to South Vietnam. From the mid-1960s to 1973, the U.S. heightened its inclusion, first giving the South Vietnam system monetary guide and military direction to ultimately sending 2.7 million soldiers to battle Viet Cong guerrilla powers and the infringing Communist North Vietnamese Army. The Vietnamese were battling a nationwide conflict, however, the North considered the conflict the "Obstruction War Against America" or "the American War." "One man...? What is one man going to have the option to do...?" General Letcher was suspicious that one man could effectively prevent the provisions from descending the path and into the South. He needed to send the entire Division north to clear out the NVA, however, the underwear-wearing legislators in Washington could never oblige that. "He's not only a man, or besides not simply a Marine. He's a Blackfeet fighter.

The Frozen Chosen
Author: Thomas McKelvey Cleaver
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 147281438X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Based on unpublished first-hand accounts of the battle, this is a dramatic retelling of the desperate Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, where the heavily outnumbered US 1st Marine Division held off vastly superior Chinese forces before successfully withdrawing in good order. In November 1950 The US 1st Marine Division was trapped in the Chosin Reservoir following the intervention of Red China in the Korean War. Fought during the worst blizzard in a century, the ensuing battle is considered by the United States Marine Corps to be 'the Corps' Finest Hour.' The soldiers who fought there would later become known as the 'Frozen Chosen'. This incredible story is based on first hand interviews from surviving veterans, telling of heroism and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds, as a handful of Marines fought desperately against wave after wave of Chinese forces. Sometimes forced into desperate hand to hand combat, the fighting retreat from Chosin marked one of the darkest moments for Western forces in Korea, but would go on to resonate with generations of Marines as a symbol of the Marine Corps' dogged determination, fighting skill, and never-say-die attitude on the battlefield.
