".S. L. A. Marshall went to Korea as Infantry Operations Analyst with the Eighth Army. A first brilliant report 'The River and the Gauntlet' dealt with dealt with the defeat of the Eighth Army by the Chinese Communists in 1950. Now General Marshall pinpoints the 1953 action on Pork Chop Hill in a stunning account of men in action. The battle began April 16 1953 and lasted 48 hours. It was an impressive artillery duel but Marshall's chief interest and emphasis are always on the men themselves. He interviewed the patrols before they went into the lines; he talked with the survivors when they came out. And he reports action from the point of view of these men giving their names and their companies. Aside from furnishing on-the-spot military information these personal reports make the book a deeply moving human document."

With an Introduction by John Newbold Hough. ".In 1861 Alfred Lacey Hough a thirty-five-year-old commission merchant left his wife his two sons and a comfortable home in Philadelphia to enlist as a sergeant in the Pennsylvania Volunteers. In his letters to his wife Hough -- who achieved the rank of captain and then brevet lieutenant colonel -- revealed his complete devotion to Northern war aims for he was an ardent champion of the Union cause. Each letter to his 'Dearest Mary' is the expression of a conscientious soldier who took great care to preserve for his descendents all of his experiences and observations during four crucial years of his life. Written by an educated literate soldier these letters are at once a valuable primary source for the historian and an exciting recreation of the events and moods of war. Hough served in the Western theater of operations and his accounts of such battles as Corinth and Chickamauga of the incidents along the route of Sherman's march on Atlanta contain all the color and impact of eyewitness description."
