In response, the United States mobilizes a force to defend the overmatched South Korean troops. But the American and United nations troops are fighting for their lives against the most brutal weather conditions imaginable, and an enemy that outnumbers them more than six to one. We follow the battle for the Chosin Reservoir from multiple points of view: Oliver P. Smith, the commanding general of the American 1st Marine Division; Marine Private Pete Riley, a World War II veteran who now faces the greatest fight of his life; and the Chinese commander Sung Shi-Lun, charged with destroying the Americans he has so completely surrounded. 611 27 Korean War (1950-1953)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00988609 648 7 1950-1953|2fast 650 0 Korean War, 1950-1953|xCampaigns|vFiction. 650 0 Battles|zKorea (North)|zChangjin Reservoir|vFiction. 650 0 Korean War, 1950-1953|xCampaigns|zKorea (North)|zChangjin Reservoir|vFiction. 650 0 War stories. 650 7 Battles.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00828915 650 7 Military campaigns.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 War stories.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01170627 651 0 Changjin Reservoir (Korea)|vFiction. 651 7 Korea (North)|zChangjin Reservoir.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411009 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Historical fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 Large type books.|2lcsh 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 994 C0|bCKE
