Description: THE BATTLE FOR PUSAN A Korean War Memoir By Addison Terry Presidio Press, Inc., ISBN # 0-89141-701-X, First Printing (unstated), Copyright 2000 5.75" x 8.75", 233 page hardcover with dustjacket The rapid-fire success of the North Korean Army’s (NKA) invasion of South Korea, launched on June 25, 1950, and supported by Russia’s vaunted T-34 tanks, stunned the world. By August 1, the entire South had fallen, save for the port city of Pusan. As the enemy prepared to deliver the coup de grâce, only one obstacle remained: Lt. Addison Terry’s unit, the famous Wolfhounds of the 27th Regimental Combat Team. Used as a “fire brigade” to shore up imperiled American defenses, these intrepid soldiers were in the thick of it, stopping the NKA’s threat of a breakthrough at every turn. Against all odds, the Wolfhounds stood firm, racking up two Presidential Unit Citations within weeks. Terry’s account, written while recovering from injuries he suffered during the battle, captures the war in all its grit, sacrifice, and courage. The book is complete and in VERY GOOD condition with some overall wear mainly to the dustjacket. On the half-title page, the author has inscribed, "Richmond, Texas, 9 September 2005. For: Scott Lease - I shall follow your career with keen interest. All the best. Add (Addison) Terry".
