Book Reviews of To the Last Round: The Epic British Stand on the Imjin River, Korea 1951
Book Review: A Gripping Account of 'Rorke's Drift II'
Summary: 5 Stars
Andrew Salmon has produced a highly detailed, yet very readable account of one of the most courageous and yet now almost forgotten last stands in the history of the British Army. His technique has included interviewing many if not all of the survivors of the battle which allows his narrative to include accounts of what it was really like to be there, in a slit trench under constant attack for days, as well as presenting the overall perspective of the action. Neither does he shy away from discussing the controversy surrounding how the 1st Battalion The Gloucestershire Regiment (the Glorious Glosters) were allowed to become surrounded by a determined enemy in vastly superior numbers and had to fight it out "To the Last Round".
A really excellent book.
