Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Book is clean with a tight binding and small check mark on front cover and a similar mark first page with and small orange scribble over that mark. Book has very slight curve to it and minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. SOLMA-RI: WITH NOWHERE TO RUN, WE STOOD AND FOUG…HT An unforgettable true story of the Korean War, this vivid account of the retreat from Pyongyang and the battle of Solma-ri is told by a British soldier who fought beside his American allies under the United Nations flag. The 1st Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment was an old established regiment of regulars, but no previous experience could have prepared them for the harshness of the Korean War. What began as an operation to hunt guerrillas in the mountains north of Kaesong, just across the 38th Parallel, turned into one of the war's most desperate battles. This cruel, man-on-the-ground portrait of some of the bitterest fighting in recent history clearly recounts both the tragedy and the heroism of brave men at war. The book you see in the images is the actual book we have for sale. Why pay more? When you buy this book from us, you are helping to support a small brick and mortar family owned store. We have been curating our collection for three generations and currently have over 250,000 volumes in stock. Please feel free to call for more stock.
