Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. xiii, [1], 283, [1] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Notes. Sources. Index. Inscribed by author on title page. DJ has slight wear and soiling. John E. Nolan Jr. was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps upon graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1950. After service in Korea he enrolled at Georgetown Law School, clerked at the Supreme Court, and entered private practice at Steptoe & Johnson LLP. He has argued several cases before the Supreme Court. Following the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969, for a decade he litigated environmental cases, including representation of Alyeska during construction of the Trans Alaska Pipeline. He worked on the presidential campaigns of John and Robert Kennedy and served in the attorney general's office during the Kennedy administration. More recently, Nolan has served as an arbitrator and mediator, including mediation of the well-publicized Haft family lawsuits. He was assigned to Baker Company, First Battalion, First Marines, in Korea and after a couple of weeks in the company I became a rifle platoon leader. I arrived at the end of the Chinese offensive in April of 1951, during the beginning of our sweep to the north. My company was initially at Chunchon and Yanggu, near the eastern end of the Hwachon Reservoir. May and June were active months, as we were attacking to the north. When the peace talks started later that summer, things quieted down. Then we went back on the attack at a place called the Punch Bowl in the fall. The Battle of the Punchbowl, was one of the last battles of the movement phase of the Korean War. Following the breakdown of armistice negotiations in August 1951, the United Nations Command decided to launch a limited offensive in the late summer/early autumn to shorten and straighten sections of their lines, acquire better defensive terrain, and deny the enemy key vantage points from which they could observe and target UN positions. The Battle of Bloody Ridge took place west of the Punchbowl from August-September 1951 and this was followed by the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge northwest of the Punchbowl from September-October 1951. At the end of the UN offensive in October 1951, UN Forces controlled the line of hills north of the Punchbowl. This is a narrative of John Nolan's experience as a Marine rifle platoon leader in Korea in 1951, the pivotal year of the Korean War. Much of it reads like a journal, but it also includes the experiences of a half-dozen other Marine lieutenants fighting through the fog-shrouded mountains of the East-Central front during the year the war turned around. Individually, their heroism marked some of the top combat events of that time. Taken together, these accounts tell the story of fighting that year when the last Chinese offensive was stopped cold and the UN forces slugged their way back over the 38th parallel to the final line that exists today, more than a half century later. The lieutenants came from all over and were educated at the Naval Academy, Notre Dame, Miami University and College of the Pacific. As Marine rifle platoon leaders, they were all wounded, some several times, and abundantly decorated. And since Korea, their lives have spanned a broad range of experience. Charlie Cooper retired as Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific; Joe Reed was a top executive at AT&T and later led the reorganization of Chicago's public schools; Jim Marsh left his enduring mark on the Marine Corps and the vast new USMC building at Quantico is named for him; Walter Murphy, a leading educator, author and novelist, was the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton; Bill Rockey had a distinguished Marine Corps career, as didhis father before him; Eddie LeBaron was voted early into the College Football Hall of Fame and later led the NFL in passing during his years with the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys. John Nolan has practiced law in Washington, D...
