5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Look at the Early Days of the Korean War Jan 4 2004
By Dr. Hypersonic - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is a classic book that deserves to be reprinted. HOLD BACK THE NIGHT is an excellent account of the withdrawal from the Korean reservoirs during the very worst days of the Korean War. It is compellingly and believably written, and tells a wonderful story of courage and dedication under fire, and the interactions and bonds that form in a small unit under continuous threat of attack. The writing is crisp, taut, and believable. I rate this book right up there with James Michener's THE BRIDGES OF TOKO-RI and James Salter's THE HUNTERS as the finest of all Korean war fiction. Not to be missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Story Jun 11 2005
By Molly - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I agree completely with "Dr. Hypersonic". I just finished reading this book yesterday; it's one of the best I've read in a very long time.

It's the story of a Marine Company near the US withdrawal of troops from Korea. It taught me things about the Korean War I never knew, but more than that, it was a story about honor, almost forgotten in modern society, under extremely difficult circumstances. At the end of the book when an exhausted Sergeant Ekland said, "These are not stragglers, sir. This is Dog Company," I cried.

If you read only one book in 2005, you can't go wrong with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the few novels of the Korean War Jun 28 2005
By Gary Hatch - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
A group of soldiers tries to protect itself and a lucky bottle of scotch during the retreat from Chosin reservoir in the Korean war. Frank was a public information officer during the war, so although he wasn't at Chosin, he was in country. In 1956, this novel was made into a movie (not on video) with Chuck Conners and Peter Graves. If you liked the more famous Bridges at Toko-Ri, you'll probably like Hold Back the Night.
