COMBAT ACTIONS IN KOREA

Russell A. Gugeler

This book was originally published in 1954, revised in 1970, and in
demand and print since then. The accounts of small-unit actions were
written primarily for junior officers, noncommissioned officers, and
privates of the United States Army who had not yet been in battle. The
object was to acquaint the with the realities of their own fields.

Since the Korean War, some of the tools and procedures of battle have
changed, but the basic conditions of combat have not. Indeed, the
surprises, confusion, and problems faced on one battlefield generally
resemble the difficulties met on another. Accounts of battle experience
at other times in other places, then, continue to have instructive
value. It is with this fact in mind that this book is being reprinted.

One of the accounts contained in the original version was omitted after
a review of the source material on which it was based revealed several
irreconcilable errors. All of the other episodes appearing in the 1970
revised edition continue to appear in their original form. Those who
absorb the lessons they offer can substantially increase their
competence as leaders and members of small units in battle, and all
students of military history should find profit in these intimate and
objective stories of combat action.
