Sad King Billy posted:Thirding Coldest Winter, rarely have I disliked someone as much as Ned Almond! A little late but fourthing Coldest Winter. An unbelievably fantastic military history. Breakout: The Chosin Reservoir Campaign, Korea 1950 by Martin Russ is also excellent and more detailed than Coldest Winter, but more narrowly focused. The battles around Chosin were some of the most intense in the history of the US armed forces and Russ does a great job of describing small-unit actions and conditions. Really down into the weeds of "this platoon held this hill and this squad did this so this company did this" while still covering a Corps-level engagement. Coldest Winter is a better whole-war story but Breakout is a gripping and educational read.
