Korea: The Last Memoir
On the sixtieth anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War, Robert Compton Miller relates his personal account of the last year. He served as a rifleman in the Seventh Infantry Division from October, 1952 to July, 1953. During those ten months, he participated in battles on Triangle Hill where he was wounded, and on Old Baldy.
However, most of his time was spent on small outposts usually held by twenty-five men and frequently probed or attacked by the Chinese. Mr. Miller describes with occasional dark humor the harsh conditions of life on an outpost during the bitterly cold Korean winter. This book is dedicated to young Americans today who are holding miserable outposts in god-forsaken places in Afghanistan and around the world.
