Synopsis
SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, JEFF SHAARA! The master of military historical fiction turns his eye to the Korean War in this riveting new novel, telling the story of the Americans & Chinese who squared off in one of the deadliest campaigns in the annals of combat: the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, aka Frozen Chosin. June 1950. The N Korean army invades S Korea, intent on uniting the country under Communist rule. In response, the US mobilizes a force to defend the overmatched S Korean troops, and together they drive the N Koreans back to their border with China. But several hundred thousand Chinese troops have entered Korea, laying massive traps for the Allies. In November 1950, the Chinese spring those traps. Allied forces, already battling cold weather, find themselves caught completely off guard as the Chinese advance around the Chosin Reservoir in N Korea. A force that once stood on the precipice of victory now finds itself on the brink of annihilation. Assured by Gen Douglas MacArthur that they would be home by Christmas, the soldiers and Marines fight for their lives against the most brutal weather conditions imaginable and an enemy that outnumbers them more than six to one. The Frozen Hours tells the story of Frozen Chosin from multiple points of view: Oliver P Smith, the commanding general of the American 1st Marine Division, who famously redefined defeat as advancing in a different direction; Marine Private Pete Riley, a WW II veteran who now faces the greatest fight of his life; and the Chinese commander Sung Shi-Lun, charged with destroying the Americans he has surrounded, ever aware that above him, Chairman Mao Tse-Tung watches his every move. Written with the force Shaara brings to all his novels of combat and courage, The Frozen Hours transports us to the critical moment in the history of America's Forgotten War, when the fate of the Korean peninsula lay in the hands of a brave band of brothers battling both the elements and a determined, implacable foe.
