The critical campaign that altered the course of the Korean War The first book to reveal the point at which the Chinese realized they could not win Includes rare photographs and 22 maps Just as the Battle of Gettysburg was the high-water mark of the Confederacy's bid for secession, the Chinese offensive launched at Wonju was the high point from which China's hopes for victory faded.
