Synopsis
Outside the hamlet of Yudam-ni near the Chosin Reservoir, American Marines shivered in their icy foxholes under frost-covered parka hoods, trigger fingers aching, their feet lumps of ice. The night of November 27, 1950 was moonless and bitterly cold. Then, bugles, whistles, and duck calls shattered the silence. Screaming enemy soldiers seemed to appear everywhere at once. On a nearby hill, a Marine observed, "It was like the snow came to life..." Vastly outnumbered, defeat and death seemed guaranteed. The Marines' improbable escape required all their fighting skills. It has become the stuff of legend and is brought to life in this book by Joseph Wheelan - himself the son of a Chosin veteran - through a searing collection of first-hand accounts. The Farthest Valley also uses Chinese military source material to give a unique perspective on Chinese commanders' strategic and tactical failings which allowed the Marines to escape and caused the needless deaths of thousands of Chinese foot soldiers., A history of the legendary extraction of the Fifth and Seventh Marines from a Chinese trap, told for the first time using Chinese sources. Knee-deep in snow, and under a leaden sky, American Marines thousands of miles from home watched more snow settle onto the frozen ground, glittering in the fading light. Suddenly, the still Korean night roared to life with the sound of Chinese mortar fire. The Fifth and Seventh Marine Regiments were besieged and surrounded by the Chinese 9th Army Group in a surprise attack at Chosin Reservoir in what is now North Korea. Vastly outnumbered and outgunned, defeat and death seemed guaranteed. Their improbable escape after a week of brutal combat required all the Marines' fighting skills and supreme combat leadership. It has become the stuff of legend and is brilliantly brought to life in this book through first-hand accounts by Joseph Wheelan, himself the son of a Chosin veteran. However, The Farthest Valley also uses Chinese military documents to give a unique perspective on Chinese strategic and tactical failings which allowed the Marines to escape. Without the Marines the entire United Nations core strength was at risk of collapse which would have changed the outcome of the Korean War. This is a compelling history of the Marines' incredible tenacity and of woeful combat leadership as the Chinese gambled away their men's lives and ultimately victory., A history of the legendary extraction of the Fifth and Seventh Marines from a Chinese trap, told for the first time using Chinese sources.
