{"product_id":"the-frozen-chosin-u-s-marines-at-the-changjn-reservoir","title":"The Frozen Chosin U.S. Marines at the Changjn Reservoir","description":"After Seoul the 1st Marine Division had reloaded into its amphibious ships and had swung around the Korean peninsula to land at Wonsan on the east coast. The landing on 26 October 1950 met no opposition; the port had been taken from the land side by the resurgent South Korean army. The date was General Smith's 57th birthday, but he let it pass unnoticed. Two days later he ordered Colonel Homer L. Litzenberg, Jr., 47, to move his 7th Marine Regimental Combat Team north from Wonsan to Hamhung. Smith was then to prepare for an advance to the Manchurian border,135 miles distant. And so began one of the Marine Corps' greatest battles—or, as the Corps would call it, the \"Chosin Reservoir Campaign.\" The Marines called it the \"Chosin\" Reservoir because that is what their Japanese-based maps called it. The South Koreans, nationalistic sensibilities disturbed, preferred—and, indeed, would come to insist—that it be called the \"Changjin\" Reservoir.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1946411566\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1946411566.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Simmons, BG Edwin H.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
