Colder Than Hell: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir Mass market paperbound - 1997
by 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.
From the rear cover
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.
