After China's November 1950 intervention in the war and the subsequent
battle of the Chosin Reservoir, UN forces faced a new onslaught in the
spring of 1951 with over 350,000 veteran troops attacking along the
Imjin River. The US 3rd Infantry Division took the brunt of the attack
along with the attached British 29th Infantry Brigade which included
the Gloucestershire Regiment (the “Glosters”). The heroic defence
of the American and British forces would pass into legend, most
especially the doomed effort of the Glosters, as they sought to buy
time for the rest of the UN forces to regroup and organise an
effective defence of Seoul, the South Korean capital city. Featuring
full colour commissioned artwork, maps and first-hand accounts, this
is the compelling story of one of the most epic clashes of the Korean
War.
