Comprehensive analysis of the Chosin Reservoir campaign
Format: Hardcover
Excellent excellent review and analysis of the Chosin Resevoir campaign. The author examines the battle day-by-day from the Marines, Army, and Chinese Army perspective. This should be a required reference when studying the battle to understand lessons learned. So often books on this campaign are fragmented. In this book, he put the exciting descriptions of the action in the context of the broader campaign. I really appreciated how he included Task Force McLean/Faith which often gets omitted. After reading a number of books on this battle, I knew what was going to happen, but have to admit that it was hard to put this book down. HIGHLY highly recommended.

Lots of info about an iconic USMC battle.
Format: Hardcover
This excellent book should be required reading in Marine Corps Boot Camp!
Both Mao Tse-Tung and the commander of the 10's of 1,000's of Chinese "volunteers" who tried to surround and annihilate the 1st Marine Division at Chosin acknowledged that the 1sdtMarDiv was the best division in the American Armed Forces. And the Marines there proved they were correct in that assumption!
I am proud to have served in that very division as a peacetime Marine, 1956 - '58.

I have a better understanding of the heroes who fought in the early days of the Korean War.
Format: Kindle
The author takes the reader from the landings at Inchon, the drive to the Yalu River, and the retreat and evacuation to the south. I can't imagine the conditions these brave men endured as they fought the hordes of Chinese in order to escape a frozen hell.

Engaging, though-provoking sweep that will provide you with regarding this time period
Format: Hardcover
Alan Taylor is a writer who excels at contextualizing the complexity of history by creating a sort of ancestral snapshot of each person and event and placing them on a family tree, showing both their relationships to one another and to their time. This approach increases readers’ abilities to build those understandings on their own in other readings, about other times. That’s cool. In this book, he upends a more static understanding of North and South and provides a kaleidoscope of complexity with regards to individuals and social groups from regions both within and outside of our borders.
In this book, Alan Taylor displays his unique brilliance at making legible the complex interplay of extremely diverse international, national, and factional agendas, political aspirations, people’s attachment to their political and social worldviews, economic aspirations, their bluster, their denial, and their honest – if not always successful – efforts. Quoting from a mind-bogglingly large reading list of academic sources, newspapers, diaries, and other historical documents, he brings people back to life in such a way that you could mentally animate what role these historical figures would play today on the world stage or even in a more intimate setting of your own office politics. He makes the complexity and uncertainty decipherable so that we can think about it, argue about it, and explore it just as we would events with which we are familiar today.
A true love of history and our understanding of humanity at present are not served by infatuation with imagined, polished heroes but by complex accounts and considerations of character, influences, dreams, successes, and failures that reveal how these elements are the common denominators in all lives and across all times. Taylor does this superbly for figures North, South, enslaved, free, freed Blacks, embittered whites, Mexican, Spanish, Canadian, British, French, and Indigenous. He juxtaposes Maximilian’s wife, Carlota, sister of Leopold II, who placed faith in herself and in her husband to transform Mexico through better monarchy, with the far more egalitarian Benito Juárez, who ultimately subordinated the lives of the indigenous people in capitulating to a rising oligarchy of American investors who could rebuild Mexico. Both Carlota and Juarez are driven to varying degrees of madness by the results of their efforts.
We see members of the former Confederacy who rue their violent support for the perverse and cruel institution of slavery once the war is over, alongside others who will stop at nothing to bring back the old order. And we see Northerners, who in wartime decried slavery with a furious ardor, eventually languishing in their duty to their fellows after the war was over. There are warriors for justice, warriors for oppression, realists, capitulators, power brokers, and pawns. Even the best, who are not depleted of passionate intensity for doing right, must contend with an ecosystem of others’ dreams and aspirations, which all too often run afoul of the righteous. In the end, we may be judged by others and by ourselves for what we’ve wished for: either peace and fairness or war and acquisition at any price.
The book serves as a reminder to plant the right seeds and dream the right dreams…for everybody’s children. Because when the harshest frost melts away, something new will grow.

Carefully Researched Gives Insight To 19Th Century Occurances of: American, Canada, and Mexico!
Format: Hardcover
This book is a treasure as it covers not only the American Civil War but what intricate details are behind it and more, in addition covers the same eras for the Dominion of Canada, and French take over of Mexico along with the factors leading to "Cinco De Mayo," and more. As an avid reader of American History also as a amature historian this book is carefully detailed and gives insight to the racial and political beliefs at the life and times of the 19Th. Century. It deserves a place on your bookshelf and/or library. In these contemporary times, I am still more than pleased the the border frontiers between the Republic of Canada and United States of America remain the: "Longest Undefended Borders" in the entire globe.
