| 520 | |a "The sacrifice of the "Glorious Glosters" in defense of the Imjin River line and the hilltop fights of Australian and Canadian battalions in the Kapyong Valley have achieved greater renown in those nations than any other military action since World War II.

Based on thorough familiarity with all available sources, many not previously utilized, it sheds new light on fighting "the forgotten war.""--books.google. | ||
