What is Scorched earth, black snow : Britain and Australia in the Korean War, 1950 about?

In late summer 1950, under-equipped, under-gunned British and Australian troops joined United Nations forces defending a South Korea reeling from invasion by the communist North. As the tide turned, 27th Infantry Brigade 1st Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 1st Middlesex and 3rd Royal Australian Regiment spearheaded the counterattack into North Korea, decimating North Koreas army. Meanwhile, the elite 41 Commando, Royal Marines was raiding deep behind enemy lines. With victory imminent, men expected to be home by Christmas. It was not to be. In a shock onslaught launched out of Manchurian blizzards, Maos legions stormed south. Fighting for survival, 27th Brigade broke free of a closing trap before holding open the route for US units escaping a massive ambush. Then, as rearguard, it covered broken UN forces and desperate refugees fleeing through an apocalyptic winter warscape of devastated villages, blown bridges and burning cities. And on the wars most harrowing battleground, 41 Commando braved Hellfire Valley to reinforce besieged US marines surrounded amid North Koreas most hostile mountains. What followed the breakout from Chosin Reservoir to the sea - remains the most epic
