Colder Than Hell: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir Mass market paperbound - 1997

de Joseph R. Owen

During the early days of the Korean War, WWII veteran and company commander Joe Owen saw how regulars and raw reservists hardened into a superb Marine rifle company. As comrades fell around them above Korea's infamous Chosin Reservoir, his Marines triumphed in one of the most horrific infantry battle ever. Joseph R. Owen, 1st Lt., USMC (Ret.), served on active duty in the Marine Corps from 1943 to 1946 and from 1948 to 1952.


Información de la editorial

Joseph R. Owen, 1st Lieutenant, USMC (Ret.), commanded the mortars and a rifle platoon in Baker, 1/7, one of the rifle companies that spearheaded the breakout from Chosin Reservoir. A 1948 graduate of Colgate University, he served on active duty in the Marine Corps from 1943 to 1946 and from 1948 to 1952.

Owen has been active in Baker, 1/7, reunions and has written articles on the company's wartime experiences for the Marine Corps Gazette and short stories for Leatherneck Magazine. Now retired from his own marketing business, he and his wife divide their time between Skaneateles, New York, and Naples, Florida.

Descripción de contraportada

During the early, uncertain days of the Korean War, World War II veteran and platoon leader Lieutenant Joe Owen saw firsthand how the hastily assembled mix of some two hundred regulars and raw reservists hardened into a superb Marine rifle company known as Baker-One-Seven.

As comrades fell wounded and dead around them on the frozen slopes above Korea's infamous Chosin Reservoir, Baker-One-Seven's Marines triumphed against the relentless human-wave assaults and took part in the breakout that destroyed six to eight divisions of Chinese regulars. COLDER THAN HELL paints a vivid, frightening portrait of one of the most horrific infantry battles ever waged.
