Grim account of the stand of the Gloucestershire Regiment during a key battle in the early spring of 1951. You get a vivid sense of just what the soldiers were up against, in the form of mass attacks by Chinese "volunteers." At once a battle of mass, and a battle of squads. The Regiment certainly comes across as very well led and with tight morale, which may have been the keys to the relative success of their efforts, in that while they were destroyed, the Chinese offensive was seriously deranged. Recommended, especially since this battle is probably largely forgotten. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

After China's November 1950 intervention in the war and the subsequent battle of the Chosin Reservoir, UN forces faced a new onslaught in the spring of 1951, with over 350,000 veteran troops attacking along the Imjin River. The US 3rd Infantry Division took the brunt of the attack along with the attached British 29th Infantry Brigade (officially styled the 29th British Independent Infantry Brigade Group), which included the Gloucestershire Regiment (the "Glosters"). The heroic defense of the American and British forces would pass into legend, most especially the doomed effort of the Glosters, as they sought to buy time for the rest of the UN forces to regroup and organize an effective defense of Seoul, the South Korean capital city. Featuring full color commissioned artwork, maps, and first-hand accounts, this is the compelling story of one of the most epic clashes of the Korean War.
