Just before Thanksgiving in 1950, five months into the Korean War, General MacArthur flew to American positions in the north and grandly announced an "end-the- war-by-Christmas" offensive despite recent intervention by Mao's Chinese, who would soon trap tens of thousands of US troops poised toward the Yalu River border. Led by marines, an overwhelmed Tenth Corps evacuated the frigid, mountainous Chosin Reservoir fastness and fought a swarming enemy and treacherous snow and ice to reach the coast. Weather, terrain, Chinese firepower, and a four- thousand-foot chasm made escape seem impossible in the face of a vanishing Christmas. But endurance and sacrifice prevailed, and the last troopships weighed anchor on Christmas Eve. In the tradition of his Silent Night and Pearl Harbor Christmas, Stanley Weintraub presents another gripping narrative of a wartime Christmas season. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 610 10 United States.|bArmy.|bCorps, 10th|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Korean War, 1950-1953|xCampaigns|zKorea (North)|zChangjin Reservoir. 650 0 Marines|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Soldiers|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Christmas|zKorea (North)|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Escapes|zKorea (North)|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Courage|zKorea (North)|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Survival|zKorea (North)|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Korean War, 1950-1953|xRegimental histories|zUnited States. 700 1 Hillgartner, Malcolm.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11200916?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781483027234_180.jpeg
