About this title

Synopsis

Interservice rivalry is as old as the Republic, although nothing shines a light on that better than a single battle during the Korean War. A Task Force Called Faith is the untold story of the rivalry between the US Army and US Marines in the battle of the Chosin Reservoir in 1950. For seven decades, the Marines have been hailed as valiant heroes and the Army grunts as cowards. In ATask Force Called Faith, Steve Vogel sets the record straight. What he�s learned is the culmination of twenty years of research and outrage, first as a reporter for The Washington Post and now as a leading military historian.

At Chosin, an Army force of 2,300 soldiers�a unit known as Task Force Faith�positioned on the east side of the reservoir to protect the Marines� flank but was overwhelmed by a Chinese force eight times its size. Almost 90 percent of the Army soldiers were killed, captured, or wounded. Yet, for all the years since the battle, the survivors of Task Force Faith have endured a dramatically different fate than their military brethren as they have been subject to accusations of cowardice and incompetence. The survivors and their families have long sought to clear their names of those terrible charges and reclaim the honor they won at the frozen lake.

A Task Force Called Faith does just that.

About the Author

Steve Vogel is a historian and former foreign and military correspondent for The Washington Post. His coverage of the US war in Afghanistan was part of a package of Washington Post stories selected as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2002. He reported on the US war with Iraq in 2003 as an embedded journalist with an Army airborne brigade. Based in Germany from 1989 through 1994 and reporting for the Washington Post and Army and Air Force Times, he covered the fall of the Berlin Wall and the first Gulf War, as well as military operations in Somalia, Rwanda, and the Balkans.

Vogel covered the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the Pentagon and was the first journalist to get inside the building's most damaged sections. He reported in depth on the victims of the attack and the building's reconstruction which led to his writing the history of the Pentagon. He lives in Barnesville, Maryland.
