Condition: Muy bueno. : En diciembre de 1944, el héroe naval más popular y carismático de Estados Unidos, el almirante William "Bull" Halsey, condujo sin saberlo a su invicta Flota del Pacífico hacia el corazón de un poderoso tifón. Tres destructores volcaron, enviando a cientos de marineros y oficiales a las furiosas aguas infe…stadas de tiburones. Durante las siguientes sesenta horas, pequeños grupos de supervivientes lucharon contra olas de setenta pies, el agotamiento y la deshidratación, esperando ser rescatados por el valiente teniente Com. Henry Lee Plage, quien, desafiando las órdenes, navegó con su pequeño destructor de escolta USS Tabberer a través de vientos de 150 mph para llegar hasta los hombres perdidos. Gracias a documentos que han sido desclasificados después de sesenta años y a docenas de relatos de primera mano de los supervivientes, incluido el ex presidente Gerald Ford, una de las mayores historias de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y un relato fascinante de supervivencia en el mar, finalmente puede ser contada.

Hardcover. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. November 1950, the Korean Peninsula: after General MacArthur ignores Mao's warnings and pushes his UN forces deep into North Korea, his ten thousand First Division Marines find themselves surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered by 100,000 Chinese soldiers near the Chosin Reservoir. Thei…r only chance for survival is to fight their way south through the Toktong Pass, a narrow gorge in the Nangnim Mountains. It will need to be held open at all costs. The mission is handed to Captain William Barber and the 234 Marines of Fox Company, a courageous but undermanned unit of the First Marines. Barber and his men are ordered to climb seven miles of frozen terrain to a rocky promontory overlooking the pass. The Marines have no way of knowing that the ground they occupy--it is soon dubbed 'Fox Hill'--is surrounded by ten thousand Chinese soldiers. As the sun sets on the hill, and the temperature plunges to thirty degrees below zero, Barber's men dig in for the night. At two in the morning they are awakened by the sound--bugles, whistles, cymbals, and drumbeats--of a massive assault by thousands of enemy infantry. The attack is just the first wave of four days and five nights of nearly continuous Chinese attempts to take Fox Hill, during which Barber's beleaguered company clings to the high ground and allows the First Marine Division to battle south. Amid the relentless violence, three-quarters of Fox Company's Marines are killed, wounded, or captured. Just when it looks like the outfit will be overrun, Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Davis, a fearless Marine officer who is fighting south from Chosin, volunteers to lead a force of five hundred men on a daring mission that cuts a hole in the Chinese linesand relieves the men of Fox Company. The Last Stand of Fox Company is a fast-paced and gripping account of heroism and self-sacrifice in the face of impossible odds. The authors have conducted dozens of firsthand interviews with the battle's survivors, and they narrate the story with the immediacy of classic accounts of single battles like Guadalcanal Diary, Pork Chop Hill, and Black Hawk Down.
