Product Description
At the pivotal battles of Twin Tunnels and Chipyong-ni In February 1951, U.N. forces met and contained largescale attacks by Chinese forces. Col. Paul Freeman and the larger-than-life Col. Ralph Monclar led the American 23rd Infantry Regiment and the French Batailion de Coree, respectively. In this careful consideration of combat leadership at all levels. Kenneth E. Hamburger details the actions of these units, offering stories of men sustaining themselves and one another to the limits of human endurance. He analyzes the roles that training, cohesion, morals, logistics, and leadership play in success or failure on the front lines, providing a well-organized discussion that is sure to become a classic in the field of leadership studies.

After reading David Halberstam's The Coldest Winter, I have started reading more history books about the
Korean War. This should be required reading for our military officers and NCOs.
A real gem December 3, 2005

For those who seek examples on what constitutes good leadership (and bad for that matter) would do well to read Col. Hamburger's work. Set in Korea during the pivotal months of Jan-Feb 1951, he tells of the Battles of the Twin Tunnels and Chipyong-ni as fought by the 23rd Infantry Regiment and its attached French Battalion. He leaves nothing out, not only examining the command styles of Cols Freeman, Monclar and their subordinates,but goes into great detail among other things, the use of supporting arms, medical issues and what it was like for the men in the line. All of this in a highly readable, clear and even handed manner. Well done!
