The Coldest War - A Memoir of Korea By: James Brady ISBN 10: 0517576902 ISBN 13: 9780517576908 ASIN: B003E74AFM OCLC Number: 44139882 eISBN 10: 1429901950 eISBN 13: 9781429901956 Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number: 89-28348 Publisher: Orion Books, a pision of Crown Publishers (1990) Military, Marine Corps, Korea, America's "forgotten war" lasted just thirty-seven months, yet 54,246 Americans died in that time -- nearly as many as died in ten years in Vietnam. On the fiftieth anniversary of this devastating conflict, James Brady tells the story of his life as a young marine lieutenant in Korea. In 1947, seeking to avoid the draft, nineteen-year-old Jim Brady volunteered for a Marine Corps program that made him a lieutenant in the reserves on the day he graduated college. He didn't plan to find himself in command of a rifle platoon three years later facing a real enemy, but that is exactly what happened after the Chinese turned a so-called police action into a war. The Coldest War vividly describes Brady's rapid education in the realities of war and the pressures of command. Opportunities for bold offensives sink in the miasma of trench warfare; death comes in fits and star
