Sobre este artículo
Annapolis, Maryland:: Naval Institute Press, 1996.. 1st Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: black binding; the spine is somewhat skewed, otherwise a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket.. 8vo (9.5 inches tall) . Description: Includes two sections of black and white photo plates. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Joe Owen tells it like it was in this evocative story of a Marine rifle company in the uncertain, early days of the Korean War. His descriptions of close combat in the snow-covered mountains of the Chosin Reservoir and of the survival spirit of his Marines provide a gritty real-life view of frontline warfare. As a lieutenant who was with the from first muster in California, Owen was in a unique position to see the hazily assembled mix of some 200 regulars and raw reservists harden into a superb Marine rifle company. The book includes the accounts of many Inchon-Seoul and Chosin survivors, woven together and told proudly by one of their own.''
Sinopsis
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.
