The Farthest Valley, Escaping the Chinese Trap at the Chosin Reservoir, by Joseph Wheelan

The Farthest Valley, Escaping the Chinese Trap at the Chosin Reservoir, by Joseph Wheelan was obtained directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. I had never read this author before but I had studied this military campaign when I served in South Korea. The Korean War, or Armed Conflict came quickly after World War 2 and the US militaryand United Nations forces were vastly outnumbered by Chinese forces that intelligence had not known had crossed the border. This book uses Chinese accounts f the battles as well as survivor accounts and what is known about the battle. If you, or someone you know, is a military historian, is interested in actual battle run-downs or are even thinking of joining the military, give this book a read.
