Review – The Battle of Chosin

I don’t suppose there’s ever been a happy battle where the weather was nice and everyone had a good time. But Chosin Reservoir most definitely wasn’t. Between the freezing cold and relentless attacks, all the marines and soldiers caught up in the fight should have gotten the Medal of Honor just for being there. This documentary would have benefitted a bit from interviews with North Korean and Chinese veterans, though perhaps that was outside the scope of an American Experience episode. Otherwise this is a reasonably comprehensive account of some miserably bad times. Mildly amusing
