This review is from: The Final Crucible: U.S. Marines in Korea, Vol. 2: 1953 (Potomac's History of War Series) (Paperback)
As a drafted Marine, who spent a year of combat in Korea (the final year of the war), I must commend Lee Ballinger on telling the real story of the "Korean Stalemate". I reviewed his first volume "The Outpost War", so I won't add to my review here (go read that one).
I will say however that the Marine Corps does seem a bit embarrassed that inducted (drafted) Marines played such a vital role in the final outpost battles of the Korean War. I sometimes think Marine Command would like to downplay that segment of Marine Corps history, but I may be overstating it. I know of at least one Marine draftee who received the Medal of Honor during the "Outpost War" so I guess we weren't all bad. |
