About this product
Product Information
The outbreak of the Korean conflict caught America and the Marine Corps unprepared. The Corp's salvation was the existence of its Organized Reserve (an organization rich in veterans of the fighting in World War II), the availability of modern equipment in storage and, as always the bravery, initiative and adaptability of individual Marines. In this follow-up to his enormously successful Marine Tank Battles in the Pacific (Combined Publishing, 2000), Oscar Gilbert presents an equally exhaustive and detailed account of the actions in Korea, supported with numerous photographs throughout. The book details all the actions that Marine tanks fought, many of them famous, such as actions at Pusan and Chosin. However the book also tells some stories or the first time, an example of which is an unique account of the role of tanks in the destruction of the ill-fated Task Force Drysdale. Also how tanks played a key role in the defense of Hagaru and the lone tank that made it to Yudamni and then led the breakout across the high Toktong Pass. The Marine tankers individually and as an organization met every challenge posed by this vicious, protracted and forgotten war.

Highly recommended.", If you're interested in The Korean War, Tanks, or the US Marine Corps, this is an interesting book on an interesting subject that should give you some hours of entertainment, and remain on hand as a reference for the modeller or historian. Korea has for too long been called the forgotten war, and these USMC tankers probably forgotten more than most. Highly Recommended., History's stories told in this unusual, veteran' voices format, alongside interesting archive photography leaves a lasting impression of what it might have been like to serve as a marine in this bitter and protracted war.
