"U.S. Marine Operations in Korea, 1950-1953, Volume 4 (of 5)" by Lynn Montross, Major Hubard D. Kuokka, and Major Norman W. Hicks is a historical account written in the early 1960s. This volume chronicles the operations and experiences of the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War, particularly focusing on the East-Central front from December 1950 through early 1952. The book discusses the strategic maneuvers, battles, and challenges faced by the Marines as they adapted their tactics to the changing nature of the conflict. The opening of the book sets the stage for the Marines' return to action after the intense Chosin Reservoir campaign, describing their re-establishment in the Masan area. It introduces the newly appointed Eighth Army Commander, General Matthew Ridgway, who emphasizes the urgent need for reconnaissance, morale-building, and preparation for renewed engagements against North Korean and Chinese forces. The narrative reveals the administrative challenges, including personnel and equipment shortages, while outlining the Marines' commitment to integrity and effectiveness in the face of uncertainty and ongoing conflict. Overall, it captures the resilient spirit of the forces as they ready themselves for the crucial battles that lay ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
