This compelling account offers the story of the courageous mission of the Marines of Fox Company who found themselves surrounded and greatly outnumbered by Chinese forces near Chosin Reservoir in North Korea during the Korean War. In subzero weather, these heroic marines fought to secure the Toktong Pass while fending off Chinese troops for five nights. This is the story of those brave men and the major losses they suffered in their desperate struggle before finally being relieved.
