THE COLDEST WINTER: Part Five - The Last Roll of the Dice

SPOILER ALERT - Beware if you have not read this Part Five from page 253 to 290.


The title "The Last Roll of the Dice: The North Koreans Push to Pusan" is not completely clear in meaning. Any thoughts?

Re: THE COLDEST WINTER: Part Five - The Last Roll of the Dice

We're into the war (sorry, conflict) detail. The individual stories are amazing, especially the one of Engineering Officer Beahler. I'm awed that so many stories are gone with those who didn't make it. Halberstam portrays Bradley well again. This Part intrigues in closing with limitations to the overwhelming North Korean force.
