Further deer stand reading. Now that I'm "limited" out, it will likely slow down, except I'm Hopefully helping my daughter kill her first deer. That's far more exciting to me than killing one myself.

This is the second book by O'Donnell I've read, mostly by strolling and clicking through Amazon's "other books you might be interested in".

This is a fine read about the Marines in Korea of George Company, of the Third Battalion, First Marine Regiment, commanded by Chesty Puller which landed at Inchon and fought nearly continuously through the Chosin fight to the rear.

Although it seems as tho I'm concentrating on Puller and Korea, it is simply an accident. I didn't even know this was related until I started reading it.

O'Donnell is getting better. This is a damn fine read. I give it 4 stars out of 5. Highly recommended. Personally I'm going to buy some more of his books.

from the Chosin fight section, while George Company is under attack by over 350 Chinese:

That night (December 9, 1950)the temperatures plummeted to the lowest levels of the entire campaign. According to the meteorological officer assigned to the First Marine Division, the mercury dropped to -60 with a 65 knot wind. The combination created a windchill factor of -125.
