‘The Farthest Valley: Escaping the Chinese Trap at the Chosin Reservoir’
By Joseph WheelanAs we near the 75th anniversary of the start of the Korean War, Wheelan’s recent book proves timely. It is, however, far more than timely. It is engrossing to the point of disturbing. It documents in extensive detail the harsh conditions experienced by the combatants during December 1950 along the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea, as well as the brutality of the warfare. Wheelan provides a close encounter of one of the most tragic, deadly, yet inspiring moments in U.S. military history.
