Historian Hampton Sides describes one of the most brutal ground battles ever fought – the 17-day Battle of Chosin Reservoir, which began on the 27th of November 1950. The conditions were relentlessly difficult – frigid temperatures, frozen, rocky ground, and an enemy that kept coming in waves. And they weren't the North Koreans who General MacArthur had expected. No this was Mao's Red Army. More than 120,000 Chinese soldiers surrounded 30,000 US Marines and UN troops. What was a desperate situation could have been much worse, save for the incredible bravery of the Marines and the sage leadership of U.S. Marine battalion General Oliver Prince.Hampton Sides, in his excellent book On Desperate Ground, explains how General Smith's strategic thinking preserved the lives of many of his men, helping them receive supplies during the battle and eventually break through enemy lines to find a path to safety. It's a rosing tribute to the “Chosin Few!"Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com
Clay interviews Hampton Sides, the author of a dozen outstanding books, including studies of Kit Carson, Martin Luther King's assassin James Earl Ray, the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in Korea, and most recently, The Wide, Wide Sea, Sides' study of the third and fatal voyage of Captain James Cook. How does one write about a British explorer like James Cook in the 21st century when Cook's statues around the world are being defaced, decapitated, or torn down due to his role in disrupting the indigenous cultures he encountered in his voyages? Sides talks about his strategy of coming down somewhere in the middle on this cultural and political question. He takes comfort in that his book, The Wide, Wide Sea,has been criticized from both ends of the political spectrum. We talk, too, about his forthcoming book about the Sand Creek Massacre in eastern Colorado on November 29, 1864.
In late November, 1950, the Allied Eighth Army resumed their march northward to the Yalu River. To their great surprise, both units were ambushed by large Chinese forces who inflicted great casualties on the Allies and forced them to retreat southward. Join Evan and James as they discuss the epic battles of the Chongchon River and the Chosin Reservoir, plus the legendary march to the sea and evacuation of the Tenth Corps.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Segment 4, July 20, 2024. There are many differences between our founder, Jesse Brown, and the Korean War hero, Jesse Brown. Our Jesse was born in 1933 and lived a long life. He started Jesse Brown's Backpacking Mountaineering Canoeing Kayaking in 1970. The store's concept came from time spent in Manhattan visiting outdoor stores while he was employed as a corporate pilot for J.P. Stevens Textile Firm. Two of Jesse's passions were the outdoors and flying. One led to the other and we continue to promote the outdoor lifestyle through the brick-and-mortar outdoor store based in Charlotte, NC, and the website www.jessebrowns.com. The company also uses this format to focus on outdoors in the Carolinas with the Carolina Outdoors radio show and podcast. The Jesse Brown featured in the film was born just seven years earlier (1926) than our Jesse, and enlisted in the Navy at age 20 as a young African-American man with an interest in aviation. He earned his pilot wings in 1948 and was the recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross. He flew twenty combat missions before being shot down while supporting ground troops at the Chosin Reservoir. Jesse Brown became the first African American naval officer killed during the Korean War at the age of 24. As for our Jesse Brown. He lived into the 21st century and his name continues to adorn Jesse Brown's Outdoors and our website www.jessebrowns.com. We stay devoted to our clients by providing selection, service, and commitment to our community. Come get your summer gear at Jesse Browns we have all the chairs, sunglasses and sun protection to keep you from getting burnt!

Patrick Finn fibbed about his age in order to join the U.S. Marine Corps a bit earlier than he should have. He served honorably and was ready to end his service before the Korean War ever began. But his inability to come up with $92 led him to re-enlist and in the summer of 1950 he was off to fight a war in a place he knew nothing about.The summer of 1950 was chaotic in Korea. The North Koreans invaded the south in late June and nearly conquered the whole peninsula. But U.S. forces arrived just in time, pushing out from the Pusan Perimeter and executing the very successful Inchon Landing. Within a couple of months, U.S. forces thought they would be home by Christmas.But in late 1950, just as the U.S. and our allies had pushed the North Koreans back to the Yalu River, Chinese forces came swarming across the border, inflicting severe American casualties, taking many troops prisoner, and surrounding U.S. Marines at Chosin Reservoir.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Patrick Finn describes the surprise of the Chinese onslaught, the brutally frigid temperatures at Chosin Reservoir, how the Marines fought while surrounded, and what it was like to fight hand-to-hand. Mr. Finn also reflects on the proce of our freedom and tells us why returning to Korea in recent years was such a powerful experience.
The Chinese launch their attack on UN forces in Korea, catching the enemy off-guard and inflicting severe losses. Against all odds, the US Marines trapped at the Chosin Reservoir try to fight their way to safety through enemy lines.

MAO'S CHINA ATTACKS: 1/4: Give Me Tomorrow: The Korean War's Greatest Untold Story—The Epic Stand of the Marines of George Company,by Patrick K. O'Donnell. https://www.amazon.com/Give-Me-Tomorrow-Greatest-Story/dp/0306818019/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= After nearly four months of continuous and agonizing combat on the battlefields of Korea, such a simple request seemed impossible. For many men of George Company, or “Bloody George” as they were known—one of the Forgotten War's most decorated yet unrecognized companies—it was a wish that would not come true. This is the untold story of “Bloody George,” a Marine company formed quickly to answer its nation's call to duty in 1950. This small band of men—a colorful cast of characters, including a Native American fighting to earn his honor as a warrior, a Southern boy from Tennessee at odds with a Northern blue-blood reporter-turned-Marine, and a pair of twins who exemplified to the group the true meaning of brotherhood—were mostly green troops who had been rushed through training to fill America's urgent need on the Korean front. They would find themselves at the tip of the spear in some of the Korean War's bloodiest battles. After storming ashore at Inchon and fighting house to house in Seoul, George Company, one of America's last units in reserve, found itself on the frozen tundra of the Chosin Reservoir facing elements of an entire division of Chinese troops. They didn't realize it then, but they were soon to become crucial to the battle—modern-day Spartans called upon to hold off ten times their number. Give Me Tomorrow is their unforgettable story of bravery and courage. 1950 South Korea

Narrated by Liev Schreiber. Social Media is an essential tool in telling the real-life stories of World War II's Greatest Generation. For Alaskan teenager Henry De Hoop, social platforms such as Facebook have proven to be an incredible resource in sharing his grandfather, James Schmidt's story, with a global audience. Jim Schmidt, like 16 million others of his generation, served in World War II. But the war journey of Henry's granddad is anything but routine. It's unlike anything most of us have ever heard or even thought possible. Jim Schmidt was keeping a big secret from the military and from his family too. This incredible journey begins in a movie theater in 1942 with the film Parachute Battalion playing on the big screen in San Rafael, California. The United States is now at war on two fronts. The story continues after World War II in Korea at the infamous frozen Chosin Reservoir. It ends in the sweltering jungles of Vietnam more than two decades after WWII is over. To use a 21st Century expression: Grandpa's War Story is About to Go #Viral thanks to Jim Schmidt's social media savvy grandson Henry De Hoop. And what an amazing story it is!

1. Fight or Flight 2. Deliverance 3. Embarrassing Retreats 4. Arduous 5. Catastrophic 6. ps TrafalgarToday we are going to discuss the contentious issue of going backwards in war. And no, we are not just talking about certain nations driving their tanks with 10 reverse gears. We are talking about retreat, generally seen as a bad thing and withdrawal, sometimes seen as not such a bad thing. As Demosthenes put it ‘Sometimes you need to live to fight another day'. And we've seen leaders turn disaster into triumph – Rourke's Drift, the evacuation at Dunkirk comes to mind. The US General Smith coined perhaps the best phrase for it when describing his military reverse ferret, at the Chosin Reservoir retreat by UN forces in the early stages of the Korean War in 1950. General McArthur ordered him to retreat and his reply, ‘Retreat, hell we're not retreating we're just advancing in the wrong direction'. It's a known feature in war that the time of highest danger for men in battle is if they run, and the retreat turns into a rout. Many of the great massacres in battle begin with a disordered group of soldiers running from the battlefield, as happened in 1416 at the battle of Towton the greatest slaughter of men on English soil. Today we'll look at four categories of retreat, Deliverance, the Embarrassing retreat, the Arduous and the Catastrophic. We should remember Churchill's line in his great Dunkirk speech, ‘Wars are not won by evacuations'. However, a successful withdrawal can allow those men to live, to fight another day.

Marine Corps Veteran Jerry Sperry received two Purple Heart medals for his service in the Korean War. The first came in South Korea, while the second came during the frozen Battle of Chosin Reservoir in the North. Now in his 90s, Jerry's current mission is to educate future generations about the "Chosin Few" who fought that battle.

This small band of men-a colorful cast of characters, including a Native American fighting to earn his honor as a warrior, a Southern boy from Tennessee at odds with a Northern blue-blood reporter-turned-Marine, and a pair of twins who exemplified to the group the true meaning of brotherhood-were mostly green troops who had been rushed through training to fill America's urgent need on the Korean front. They would find themselves at the tip of the spear in some of the Korean War's bloodiest battles. After storming ashore at Inchon and fighting house-to-house in Seoul, George Company, one of America's last units in reserve, found itself on the frozen tundra of the Chosin Reservoir facing elements of an entire division of Chinese troops. They didn't realize it then, but they were soon to become crucial to the battle-modern-day Spartans called upon to hold off ten times their number. Give Me Tomorrow is their unforgettable story of bravery and courage.
Jack Hessman was a Navy Corpsman who served in the Korean War. He was assigned to the Marine Corps, and fought in the famous battle of the Chosin Reservoir. During the battle, he faced freezing cold conditions, and at one point had to play dead in order to avoid being killed by Chinese soldiers.
In this episode, Tyler talks with Bobby Brooks, author and historian , about his love of military history and honoring those who have served. He wrote his first book From the Frozen Chosin to Churchill: The Biography of CSM Ray Hooker Cottrell as told to Bob Brooks based on the memories of veteran Ray Cottrell. Ray became a soldier and experienced his first taste of war in North Korea at the age of seventeen as his journey began in Incheon to Suwon and then to the Chinese border of the Yalu and the Chosin Reservoir. Bobby's love for history and honoring those who have served lead him into writing another story soon to be published about the life of WWII/Korean War/Vietnam veteran Sam Arredondo.

Ralph Gastelum grew up in Tucson, Arizona, and never experienced much of a winter before joining the U.S. Marine Corps. His first real winter would be spent in Korea in some of the most bitterly cold temperatures that American forces have ever experienced - at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Sgt. Gastelum, takes us along as he recalls the Inchon Landing. He also explains what urban combat was like in those early days and along the front lines in more rural areas. And he tells us how he survived at the Chosin Reservoir by playing dead as the Chinese attacked and how he later discovered which of his fellow Marines saved his life there.Finally, Gastelum talks about his return trip to Korea decades later and what impressed him most.
This episode of Maritime Nation is a special tribute to those who served and fought during the Korean War. Adm. James Foggo, Dr. Steve Wills and Andrew Park are joined by Adm. Harry Harris (ret.), Montford Point Marines Sgt. Ivor Griffin and Staff Sgt. Eugene Groves (ret.) and Ned Forney to discuss the heroes of the Korean War, the critical importance of our allies and the relevance of the Indo-Pacific region to America today. Part one examines U.S.-South Korea alliance and America's policies toward Indo-Pacific region, People's Republic of China and Taiwan. Part two discusses segregation within the U.S. Marine Corps before and during the Korean War and the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, which was the first battle between the U.S. military and the Chinese People's Liberation Army in modern history. Part three deals with the Hungnam Evacuation, the greatest rescue operation ever by a single ship by evacuating more than 100,000 American service members and 14,000 refugees.
In this stink crack we talk about the Korean War's Battle of Chosin Reservoir and we dig deep into Colorado's early 20th century Coalfield Wars. Stay lubed with us and thanks for listening, grandchildren.
We are joined today with Hampton Sides. Sides is the author of our favorite book on the Korean War: On Desperate Ground which tells the story of one of the most harrowing clashes in American history, the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, during which Mao's numerically superior armies surrounded and tried to destroy the First Marine Division in the frozen mountain wilds of North Korea. Sides is best-known for his gripping non-fiction adventure stories set in war or depicting epic expeditions of discovery and exploration. He is the author of the bestselling histories Ghost Soldiers, Blood and Thunder, Hellhound On His Trail, and, most recently, In the Kingdom of Ice, which recounts the heroic polar voyage of the U.S.S. Jeannette during the Gilded Age. We really enjoyed this conversation as Hampton is a wonderful author of American adventure and exploration, always centered around the human stories which arise. We hope you enjoy, we sure did.

In October 1950 the Americans are racing to the Yalu river, trying to bring the war in Korea to a decisive close. Unknown to them a huge Chinese army has been sent to oppose them and the forces meet at the Chosin Reservoir. Both sides have to fight not only each other but the appalling cold as the Chinese try to surround and annihilate the Americans.Hampton Sides' book On Desperate Ground is an absolutely gripping account of the battle and I'm unsurprised to see it has 5 stars on Amazon. In today's podcast he talks about some of the key moments.

The highly anticipated Chinese war epic film The Battle at Lake Changjin about the Korean War (1950-53) debuted around the country on September 30. 9月30日，备受期待的中国战争史诗电影《长津湖之战》（1950-53）在全国上映。The film tells the story about how Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) soldiers held their ground amid fierce cold and the enemy's more advanced weapons during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).影片讲述了抗美援朝战争（1950-53年）期间，中国人民志愿军士兵在严寒以及敌军先进武器的包围中，保家卫国的故事。▲ A poster of the film the Battle at Lake Changjin shows in a cinema. Photo/VCGHowever, the real battlefield is far more impressive than the scene in the film.然而，真实的战场远比影片中的场景更令人震撼。Changjin Lake (also known as the Chosin Reservoir by many) is located in North Korea. In November 1950, United Nations forces headed north to Yalu River, the border of China and North Korea, claiming to win the war by Christmas.长津湖位于朝鲜，狼林山脉的东侧，是朝鲜北部最大的人工蓄水湖。长津湖常年冰封积雪、人迹罕至，周围地形多是高山峻岭、悬崖峭壁。1950年11月，“联合国军”北上前往位于中朝边境的鸭绿江，声称要在圣诞节前结束战争。▲ Chinese People's Volunteers charging forward under enemy fireThe war was on in severely cold winter with temperature of around -40 C. CPV soldiers did not only need to fight against United Nations forces, but had to battle over the nature with their strong will.那一年朝鲜半岛遭遇五十年不遇的极寒天气。11月，长津湖地区的气温降至零下40摄氏度左右。志愿军士兵不仅需要与敌军作战，而且还要和极端恶劣的自然气候作斗争。Chinese People's Volunteer Army confronted with the US contingent stationed near the lake and won the battle by fighting against impossible odds. The Battle of Changjin Lake became a pivotal moment in 'the War Against US Aggression and Aid Korea'-the term used to refer to the Chinese participation in the Korean War.中国人民志愿军应朝鲜请求赴朝与朝鲜人民并肩作战，与驻扎在长津湖边的美国特遣队对峙，中国人民志愿军赢得了这场战斗，战胜了几乎不可能逾越的艰难险阻。长津湖战役成为抗美援朝战争的关键时刻。In the battle of Changjin Lake, the Volunteer Army's 20 Army 59th Division 177th Regiment 6 Company was ordered to ambush sniper US Marine 1st Division. In order not to expose the target, they remained motionless in the ice and snow, and when the follow-up troops arrived, they found that all 125 officers and soldiers had frozen to death in the positions. They lay on their positions, holding rifles. Although they were frozen to the ground, they still in combat posture, as if ready to charge.长津湖战役中，志愿军20军59师177团6连受命埋伏狙击美军陆战1师。为了不暴露目标，他们在冰雪阵地中保持纹丝不动，当后续部队到达阵地时才发现，这125名官兵全部冻死在阵地上。他们趴在地上，手里握着步枪，虽然已经被冻成了“冰雕”，但仍然保持着战斗的姿势，仿佛随时准备冲锋。While sorting out the soldier's relics, a letter was found on Song Amao, a Shanghai-born soldier. "Snow and ice! I will never give in to you, even if I'll be frozen to death, I will be proud, towering in my position!"整理战士遗物时，在一名上海籍战士宋阿毛身上发现了一封绝笔信。“冰雪啊！我绝不屈服于你，哪怕是冻死，我也要高傲地，耸立在我的阵地上！”Under such difficult conditions, the Volunteer Army's 27th Army 80th Division 239th Regiment 4 Company still destroyed the US 31st Regiment Combat Team ("Polar Bears"), killing Task Force Maclean, the famous head of the the US 31st Regiment Combat Team. This battle is called Xin Xingli battle in the battle of Changjin Lake.在这种异常艰苦的条件下，志愿军第27军80师239团4连仍捣毁了美军“北极熊团”团部，击毙了赫赫有名的“北极熊团”团长麦克莱恩上校。这场战斗就是长津湖战役中的新兴里战斗。According to Li Changyan, the "Xin Xingli combat model company commander", recalled, when they set up ambushes in the vast snow field for 6 days and 6 nights, the US military flares directly forced volunteer positions, soldiers ambushed while attacking, constantly updated the combat program, Volunteer Army first lied down, coverted, and then fought, and finally the soldiers destroyed the command post, to achieve the ultimate victory. At the time, the People's Volunteer Army used rifles, potatoes and snowballs, while US troops were equipped with tanks, planes and artillery.据“新兴里战斗模范连连长”李昌言回忆，当时他们在茫茫雪野中设伏6天6夜，美军的照明弹直逼志愿军阵地，战士们边埋伏边进攻，不断更新作战方案，志愿军先卧倒、隐蔽，然后再战，最终战士们一举捣毁“北极熊团”团指挥所，取得最终的胜利。当时志愿军用的是步枪，吃的是土豆加雪球，而美军的装备则是坦克、飞机和大炮。In the Xin Xingli battle, the Volunteer Army's 27th Army 80th Division 239th Regiment 4 company killed more than 300 enemy, seized 12 howitzers, controlled the 300 meters long, 100 meters wide position, "Polar Bears" flag fell, "Xin Xingli fighting model company" battle flag fluttered forever.在新兴里战斗中，志愿军第27军80师239团4连共击毙敌方300余人，缴获榴弹炮12门，控制了长300米、宽100米的阵地。“北极熊团”团旗落下了，“新兴里战斗模范连”的战旗永远地飘扬起来了。It is not the film itself that makes people move, but the heroes of the war years who fought bloodily for our country and the people.人们观看《长津湖》之所以泪流满面，让人动容的不是电影本身，而是战争年代，那些为了祖国和人民浴血奋战的英雄们。Song Zhongping, a military expert and TV commentator, emphasized that the film shows that the Chinese people don't provoke troubles, but never flinch when trouble comes their way and are able to defeat provocations.军事专家、电视评论员宋忠平强调，这部影片表明，中国人民不找事但也不怕事，在困难来临时决不退缩，能够战胜挑衅。
In this episode, John talks about learning from the past. When you're down, there is always an up. Inspired by a Korean war veteran Ronnie Reininger. His positive attitude, even after having been left for dead at the Chosin Reservoir has stuck with John for the past quarter of a century. John was able to spend this fine example of a Marine, Patriot, Survivor and Inspiration while stationed in San Antonio.Ronnie Reininger served as a role model of how to deal with bad shit. What he lacked in fingers, he more than made up for in heart, soul and mind. That is said with all due respect, because John has nothing but respect for him.Here is a link to a YouTube video of when Sgt (ret) Reininger received the Lone Star Medal of Valor. It gives you a little more backstory about what he went through.https://youtu.be/aaYqFG8KKX0For more information on the Chosin Reservoir, where dead bodies were stacked up for sandbags, here is a link about the Frozen Chosin.https://www.wearethemighty.com/history/why-the-frozen-chosin-is-the-defining-battle-of-the-modern-marine-corpsOther mineral topics discussed:Sous VideSquirrel Obstacle Course?Still looking squirrel name suggestionsBug out or Bug in?Check rest of the content and links to social media at www.croftcast.com
