You’d really like Give Me Tomorrow too. It’s centered on G Company, a component of Task Force Drysdale which was sent in to support the defenders of Hagaru-ri which were under attack by a division of Chinese infantry.

The Battle of the Causeway, Battle of Ice Hill and such. The fight to keep Toktong Pass open from the rear was just as fierce and desperate as the fight by Fox Company north of the pass.

The Miracle of Belleau Woods is written by the commander of the Marine brigade that fought at Belleau. It’s a personal history of the Corps from just after the US Civil War when he entered as a young man up through WW1. And as is so common in written accounts by senior USMC officers, there’s mention of acts by junior officers and lots of great acts and actions by his enlisted personnel whom he praises constantly.
