Passage Through A Hell of Fire And Ice eBook Bill Quigley
If anyone ever wondered what it is like to endure brutal infantry combat in blazing, stifling heat and just a short time later in bitter, bitter cold, this book answers that question, and then some. This is definitely not a scholarly work, but told through the eyes of a rifleman private first class (PFC) in the 5th Marines who went ashore at Pusan, and then again at Inchon, and then made the long "strategic withdrawal" from the Chosin reservoir as part of the 1st Marine Division, it paints a vivid picture of the vicious fighting, terrible conditions of heat and cold, and crude comaraderie of enlisted Marine fighting men in the Korean War.Product details

Passage Through A Hell of Fire And Ice eBook Bill Quigley Reviews
Interesting and good down and dirty detail about in the foxhole; the horrors of the Chosin Reservoir and written by someone who survived it.
Love the book, great I ordered it. Place my order and it was here When they said it would be here. Very pleased with the book.
Excellent!
My husband loved this book.
I was there in person back in 1950. Got the book to see how the author viewed it all. Some off-color language but ok.
Aside from the "Marine" language, grammatical errors and misspellings, this writing should be a part of each boot Marine's bucket issue. It truly paints a true picture of a baptism of fire in a hostile environment! The described realization of confronting one's first real shots fired in anger, the inevitable casualties, the taking of a life and preserving your own, the daily draining of physical stamina and developing anxiety, and the daily determined will to survive are clearly portrayed in this writing.
I really liked this well told, first person, story of the first five months of the "Forgotten War" in Korea and some of the bloodiest and most intense combat of U.S. Marine Corps history, from the Pusan Perimeter to the breakout from Chosin Reservoir. The grainy detail of the accomplishments of, and hardships endured by the "mud Marines" in the first few precarious months of the war, told by the 30 year veteran of the USMC himself, help the reader imagine "being there" too.
