Excerpt from the author: The main goal
of this book is to provide a description
of the combat experiences of an
infantryman with Fox Company of the 17th
Infantry Regiment during the final year
of the Korean War (1952-1953).

The book describes trench warfare in the
mountainous Korean terrain under extreme
weather conditions. Life on the front
line vacillated between boredom and
severe weather challenges; between the
sudden life threatening enemy attacks
and our assaults on enemy positions on
Korean hills to retain our strategic
place along the front line. In the
descriptions of his experiences, the
author provides a graphic portrayal of
living conditions on the front and
describes combat actions that occurred.

This book highlights Fox Company's
engagement in two major battles of this
periodthe Battle for Jane Russell Hill
(a part of Triangle Ridge) and the first
Battle of Pork Chop Hill. Both actions
involved great loss of life for Chinese
and American troops during this period
of the war when great political turmoil
was occurring at the peace talks between
the United Nations and communist
delegations at the Panmunjom Peace
Talks, efforts to bring the war to a
close.

The author is currently Professor
Emeritus in the Department of Psychology
at the University of Minnesota and has
published 58 books and more than 250
articles in personality assessment,
abnormal psychology, and crisis-
intervention.
