the long version

For U.S. and UN soldiers fighting in the Korean War, the spring of 1951 was brutal. The troops faced a tough and determined foe under challenging conditions. The Chinese Spring Offensive of 1951 exemplified the hardships of the war as the UN forces struggled with the Chinese troops over Line Kansas, a phase line north of the 38th parallel, in a conflict that led to the war's final stalemate. This book looks closely at the fierce fighting of the Soring Offensive and analyzes U.S. and UN strategies and operations, exploring the combat from the perspectives of platoons, squads, and the men themselves. --from Publisher description.
