By Charles Hughes

Charles has written a compelling treatise on what he calls the blitzkrieg phase of the war, the first third of the three year long war.

The narrative describes the combat, up close and personal. However he uses a perspective from the 21st Century to incorporate an awareness of the wars that followed and the current war on terror.


This is a gripping work and must reading. The present day overview/perspective ties the decades together and makes sense of the cost of war as well as the whys of warfare.


Background:

Charles was a member of H/3/7 1st MARDIV Korea as a Medical Corpsman USN. He enlisted in the US Navy in 1948.


Today he is Professor Emeritus of English at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia Arkansas.
