The order was given by someone important and passed on hastily one man to the next until it reached Cpl. George Purdy and the men of his unit; "Orderly Withdrawal!” This vague and generalized military term for George meant that he would have to run for his life and there was nothing orderly about it! “Korea, A Soldiers Forgotten War” is a harrowing tale of one soldier’s personal fight to stay alive during and after the war. I gave my word to my father that I wouldn't share his secrets while he was alive. Now, after his passing, those secrets are revealed in this captivating true account of his war time experiences.

Although it has been many years since my service in the Military and it was for only two years, it was an important period of my life. I learned a lot in those two years that has helped me throughout my life. In the effort to write this book it has taken me back in time, reviving memories of old friends and things that have happened. I have tried to write of things I consider important. I have been fortunate to have lived long enough to become a old man. I know it was just by the luck of the draw that I was put where I was. I never volunteered for anything, nor did I try to get out of any order given to me. I am well aware I could have been put in the infantry instead of the artillery, where I did my time in the intelligence section. Most of the time a soldier happens to serve in duties he has no control over. This book has been written as much for my family and friends as for the general public. I hope all who takes the time to read what I have written will gain knowledge regarding the Korean War, and also my story is just one of the thousands of stories of young men who served their country at this time. For us the veterans, and our families IT WILL NEVER BECOME THE "FORGOTTEN WAR". REMEMBER THIS, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

Moreover, "Echoes of the Forgotten War" delves into the human cost of the conflict, exploring the toll on civilians and soldiers, the challenges of reconstruction and economic development, and the ongoing quest for peace and reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Blood and Thunder and Ghost Soldiers, a chronicle of the extraordinary feats of heroism by Marines called on to do the impossible during the greatest battle of the Korean War. "Superb ... A masterpiece of thorough research, deft pacing and arresting detail...This war story—the fight to break out of a frozen hell near the Chosin Reservoir—has been told many times before. But Sides tells it exceedingly well, with fresh research, gritty scenes and cinematic sweep." —The Washington Post On October 15, 1950, General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander of UN troops in Korea, convinced President Harry Truman that the Communist forces of Kim Il-sung would be utterly defeated by Thanksgiving. The Chinese, he said with near certainty, would not intervene in the war. As he was speaking, 300,000 Red Chinese soldiers began secretly crossing the Manchurian border. Led by some 20,000 men of the First Marine Division, the Americans moved deep into the snowy mountains of North Korea, toward the trap Mao had set for the vainglorious MacArthur along the frozen shores of the Chosin Reservoir. What followed was one of the most heroic--and harrowing--operations in American military history, and one of the classic battles of all time. Faced with probable annihilation, and temperatures plunging to 20 degrees below zero, the surrounded, and hugely outnumbered, Marines fought through the enemy forces with ferocity, ingenuity, and nearly unimaginable courage as they marched their way to the sea. Hampton Sides' superb account of this epic clash relies on years of archival research, unpublished letters, declassified documents, and interviews with scores of Marines and Koreans who survived the siege. While expertly detailing the follies of the American leaders, On Desperate Ground is an immediate, grunt's-eye view of history, enthralling in its narrative pace and powerful in its portrayal of what ordinary men are capable of in the most extreme circumstances. Hampton Sides has been hailed by critics as one of the best nonfiction writers of his generation. As the Miami Herald wrote, "Sides has a novelist's eye for the propulsive elements that lend momentum and dramatic pace to the best nonfiction narratives."

In contrast to the many books that use military, diplomatic, and historic language in analyzing the Korean War, this book takes a cultural approach that emphasizes the human dimension of the war, an approach that especially features Korean voices. There are chapters on Korean art on the war, translations into English of Korean poetry by Korean soldiers, and American soldier poetry on the war. There is a photographic essay on the war by combat journalist and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Max Desfor. Another chapter includes and analyzes songs on the Korean War - Korean, American, and Chinese - that illuminate the many complex memories of the war. There is a discussion of Korean films on the war and a chapter on Korean War POWs and their contested memories. More than any other nonfiction book on the war, this one shows us the human face of tragedy for Americans, Chinese, and most especially Koreans. June 2000 was the fiftieth anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War; this moving volume is intended as a commemoration of it.
