| Plot Summary of The New Breed |
|---|
"Pusan to Chosin thru Marine eyes. While the maps are awful, the book is written by a Marine who provides useful information not seen in many other Korean War book--tactics of NKPA at Obong-ni Ridge; 50% reservists at Chosin; air support to smash roadblocks in Seoul. "
Gary J. Jakacky, Resident Scholar
