Description: New book, 96 pages, CAM162. Inch'on was probably the most significant campaign in the Korean theater, as well as being the last major amphibious assault of division-size conducted in the history of warfare. The odds were stacked against the US troops, with virtually no time for training and many of the divisions unprepared for the conflict. The success of the Inch'on campaign is a testament to the sheer initiative of the officers and NCOs conducted it. This book details the strategy and tactics that led to the operation's success, as well as narrating the experience of the battle in fascinating detail. Contents: Introduction: Origins of the Campaign; The Battleground; Chronology; Opposing Plans; Defense of Inch'on and Seoul; Opposing Commanders; Opposing Forces: Joint Task Force 7; X US Corps; 1st Marine (Reinforced); 7th Infantry Division; North Korean Forces; Operation Chromate; Aftermath; The Battlefield Today; Bibliography; Index.
