The Last Stand of Fox Company By Bob Drury and Tom Clavin (336 pages, maps) Reviewer:  James Healy Overall Rating: Four Stars: Highly recommended. An excellent book. 1950--with the Marines in Korea. The frozen Chosin Reservoir. "Last Stand" is in the title. You know what's coming--an incredible, desperate ordeal. Drury and Clavin the authors of Halsey's Typhoon, have vividly told the story of Fox Company defending a strategic hill allowing the Toktong Pass to be used as an escape route by the First Marine Division and ultimate evacuation at the port off Hungnam by the US navy. (Please note, the events at Hungnam are not the focus of this book). The horror of waves of experienced and dedicated Chinese soldiers rushing forward at night coupled with the physical agony of literally trying to survive in subzero temperatures--frostbite, weapons that malfunctioned, no real food, etc.--compels the reader to rush through the book in hopes of quickly bringing to an end the suffering of the men of Fox Company. War indeed is horrible and seldom, if ever, accurately portrayed in Hollywood movies. This book is a suitable companion to a previous story about another last stand--that of the Tin Can Sailors.
