Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The master of military historical fiction turns his discerning eye to the Korean War in this riveting novel, which tells the dramatic story of the Americans and the Chinese who squared off in one of the deadliest campaigns in the annals of combat: the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, also known as Frozen Chosin. June 1950. The North Korean army invades South Korea, intent on uniting the country under Communist rule. In response, the United States mobilizes a force to defend the overmatched South Korean troops, and together they drive the North Koreans back to their border with China. But several hundred thousand Chinese troops have entered Korea, laying massive traps for the Allies. In November 1950, the Chinese spring those traps. Allied forces, already battling stunningly cold weather, find themselves caught completely off guard as the Chinese advance around the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. A force that once stood on the precipice of victory now finds itself on the brink of annihilation. Assured by General Douglas MacArthur that they would be home by Christmas, the soldiers and Marines fight for their lives against the most brutal weather conditions imaginable--and an enemy that outnumbers them more than six to one. The Frozen Hours tells the story of Frozen Chosin from multiple points of view: Oliver P. Smith, the commanding general of the American 1st Marine Division, who famously redefined retreat as "advancing in a different direction"; Marine Private Pete Riley, a World War II veteran who now faces the greatest fight of his life; and the Chinese commander Sung Shi-Lun, charged with destroying the Americans he has so completely surrounded, ever aware that above him, Chairman Mao Tse-Tung watches his every move. Written with the propulsive force Jeff Shaara brings to all his novels of combat and courage, The Frozen Hours transports us to the critical moment in the history of America's "Forgotten War," when the fate of the Korean peninsula lay in the hands of a brave band of brothers battling both the elements and a determined, implacable foe. "A military story as dramatic and heroic as any that exists."-- The American Interest " The Frozen Hours . . . illustrates again Shaara's mastery. . . . This is fiction and history at their blended best."-- Marine Corps Gazette "Marvelously effective storytelling . . . that shows us what warfare feels like both to those who plan campaigns and those who execute them . . . gripping, precisely detailed historical fiction."-- Booklist (starred review), NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The master of military historical fiction turns his discerning eye to the Korean War in this riveting novel, which tells the dramatic story of the Americans and the Chinese who squared off in one of the deadliest campaigns in the annals of combat: the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, also known as Frozen Chosin.

    Wish I could leave ten stars for every aspect of this transaction:the 60+year old copy was bargain priced and in better than advertised condition, communication was superb, packaging was extremely protective, and the book was shipped promptly. It's obvious that the seller is a bibliophile, and an exceptionally kind, gracious one at that.Highest recommendation, and I hope to shop here again soon.

    Order came just as described. Absolutely wonderful packaging!! Evident seller took their time in packaging the order. No damage at all (there honestly could not be any damage no matter how rough the shipping process was due to how well the order was packaged). Wonderful all around. 20/10 would recommend buying from this seller. Couldn’t be more pleased!

    The battle at the Chosin reservoir

    An interesting look at the “Forgotten War” This is about the battle between American and Chinese forces at the Chosin reservoir. So many men suffered and died not only to battle worlds but also the worst winter in Korean history

    this book is the Korean war in a nutshell

    This book gives emotional and compelling reasons for remembering those who served in Korea. A very gripping story told from the viewpoints of those men who led and followed in the Chosin reservoir battles.
