Colder Than Hell: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir by Joseph R. Owen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A crisp telling of the author's time against North Korean and Chinese troops in the bitter, below zero weather of the Korean conflict. The author recounts examples where grit and resolve and care for one's foxhold buddy overcame lack of prepartion, overwhelming odds and all too frequent dud explosives.
