"I have read and bought many books on the Korean War, but this books ranks as one of the best small unit histories yet. I'm amazed this book hasn't been made into a blockbuster movie, it should rival anything like Saving Private Ryan or Apocolypse Now.
The korean War hasn't many truely big budget movies and the charachters and human interest and tragedies that befell these soldiers rivals 'We were soldiers once and Young' any day, a truely gripping read."
"Great book! Well written and researched. It also has very detailed maps and add greatly to understanding the description of the battle for Fox Hill. Quite bluntly, this is the way a book of war should be researched, written and presented. A really great job by the authors."
