Publisher's Synopsis
This book describes the war and the command failings that caused this U.S. military tragedy to occur. It was because of their actions and inactions from 27 November 1950 to 1 December 1950 that the RCT-31 was sacrificed, made to fight for five days under the most challenging conditions and then left to fight their way to safety on their own on 1 December 1950, knowing they had a near zero percent chance of survival.
