A Marine Rifle Company on Out Post duty has been
decimated by the repeated assaults of the Chinese Army. Reinforcements must be sent out
immediately. A Rifle Company is formed in parade formation in the darkness and double timed
across the bleak no man’s land. Unfortunately, the Chinese see them coming and less than fifty-percent of the would be rescuers reach the
bottom of the hill. Only the dead and wounded have fallen out of the formation. A
sergeant, sensing that the men are close to panic, begins to sing the Marine’s Hymn. Amidst the clamor of combat, the voices have an
instant effect. The morale of the Marines holding out on the hill instantly buoyed, the Marines,
charging into that hell, calmed down and the Chinese, hearing singing amidst shot and shell, began to beat a retreat. The Out Post
held.
The Raw Edge of Hell is a fiction novel about the
Officers and Men of a Marine Rifle Company in Korea during the last six months of the “Police
Action.” It is fiction, inspired by actual events. You’ll find it an engrossing story that
is difficult to put down.

Autobiography with Ponderings of
A Boy and His Journey Via Therapeutic Writings
by
Jimmie Joe (James J. Woods)
I learned well how to hide my war
and keep my thoughts from the questioning world outside my head but I couldn't
escape the pop-up demons stored inside. I coped by neither talking about nor
discussing the demons lurking just below the surface, and in truth in those
years my family and friends would have had even less reaction than my family did
when I tried to talk about it in January of 1990.
The years 1951 to 1956 were the most difficult. Through the
years that followed I managed to slowly pacify and veil that which distressed my
mind. Through all this time in my ignorance I thought I was alone with ghosts of
war, I alone was not quite man enough to cope, I alone held back tears and alone
hid. I was not alone in being so wrong.
I was able to work, raise my family and function quite well but
there were always pop-up war visions in my head, keepig me on guard and
depriving my mind of lasting peace.
IN THE SHADOW OF GLORY by R. B. Campbell
A gripping story about the coming of age of an 18 year old Marine fighting in Korea during the last
half of that bloody war. There is no Hollywood hokum in this book. It is a riveting, eye-opening account of the Forgotten War from the grunts perspective-- how they lived, how they talked and how they died.
Much of the book is based on the authors experiences during the Korean War. Campbell, a former Marine Sgt., has drawn on his experience as a Marine infantryman to craft a masterful depiction of men at war.

Breakout: The Chosin Reservoir Campaign, Korea 1950
by Martin Russ
(Fromm International; 0880642319; April 1999; History)
Available for purchase at: Amazon.com or
Barnes & Noble
On November 27, 1950, a Chinese army of some 60,000 men poured over Korea's
border, intent on wiping out a force of 12,000 Marines marching
north to the Yalu River on General Douglas MacArthur's orders. The
Marines were strung out along a narrow mountain road snaking its way
up to the high plateau of the Chosin Reservoir. As the mercury
dropped to a bone-chilling 30 degrees below zero, eight Chinese
divisions emerged from hiding to pounce on the unsuspecting
Americans. How the Marines, despite serious losses, broke out of
encirclement while inflicting grueling punishment on the enemy is
one of the most stirring sagas in the history of American arms. Step
by bloody step, the Marines-given up for lost by headlines in the
U.S.-fought their way back down the same precipitous road,
miraculously taking their dead and wounded with them as they ran the
ferocious gauntlet of unceasing Chinese attacks. Weaving into his
account the voices of scores of individuals-ordinary Marines and
their officers-Russ creates an unforgettable portrayal of the terror
and courage of men as they face sudden death under the most
horrendous conditions, making the bloody battles of the Korean hills
and valleys come alive as they never have before.
My Old Box of Memories, Thoughts on the Korean War
by William Allen
I had this old cardboard box that was full of information that has been
stashed away for over forty years. Anything that I had from the day the 24
inf. Div. went to Korea in July 1950. My father started a scrap book and kept
it updated right until the time that I was released as a POW after 32 month.
over the years anything that I received went into this old box. Most of the
information I didn't want anything to remind me of my past experiences. But
for some reason I kept the box and all the information that it contained.
Over a period of time that old box was filling up.
When they were getting ready to dedicate the Korean War Memorial In
Washington, DC. I got thinking of that old cardboard box shoved away in a
corner.
I started going through the stuff that was in there and decided to write a
journal for my children and their children. After writing about Korea I
decided to write what I called After Thoughts. This consisted of anything
that I considered of importance to my family. It is a continuation from the
day I returned home up until November 1998.
I get the same response from everyone on the statement that I wrote:
I didn't have to do two much research in writing this journal. Why? Because I
lived it as so many other veterans did.
