The author, a young conscript, fought with The Glorious Glosters at
the legendary Imjin River battle. Heavily outnumbered by the Chinese
and subjected to 'human-wave' infantry attacks, he and his colleagues
suffered the trauma of being overrun and the vast majority of those
who were not killed became POWs. This serious reverse of fortunes
shocked postwar Britain but the bravery of the Battalion caught the
public's imagination. The inhuman treatment suffered at their captors'
hands by the survivors, including the author, has possibly never been
fully realized. This memoir written from the perspective of a fighting
soldier will surely bring home some most unpalatable truths.
