"In the fifty years since the Korean War dominated America's headlines, the poor state of readiness of U.S. armed forces at the beginning of that conflict has faded from memory. Yet in those early days of desperate combat - when victory and even survival were far from certain - Americans were rapidly deployed to the war zone, some deplorably unprepared for the challenges that awaited them.
By focusing on one unit, a Marine Corps Reserve company called to active duty with no warning and little training, this researched and vividly presented account makes clear what these individuals faced and how they coped."--BOOK JACKET.
