    Description

    The entry of Chinese forces into North Korea in November 1950 resulted in an entirely new war. Breaching United Nations lines between Gen Walker's 8th Army and Gen Almond's X Corps, the Chinese offensive forced a withdrawal across rugged mountains in the cold Korean winter. This book records the desperate attempt by the 8th Army to reestablish a defensive line which could stop the savage enemy assaults. It was a time of heavy casualties and battle heroics which are often overlooked by the actions at Chosin Reservoir. Written by the excellent historian Slam Marshall this is a great read.
    The River and The Gauntlet
    is a hard cover book with dust jacket published by The Battery Press containing 307 pages with maps. It is in very fine condition and comes from the smoke free home of a retired teacher who gladly combines postage the best way possible.
