Has what might be a good depiction of human wave attacks.

I read a book some years back called Colder Than Hell: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir: A Marine Rifle Company at Chosin Reservoir

The description of the ChiCom human wave attacks, and the Marines that mowed them down was intense.

In one, the author related a Marine's story about looking out at the battlefield in the morning and seeing beige quilted bodies so dense that he couldn't see the snow between them.

Suddenly a motionless corpse sprang to life and sat up, frantically patting his quilted jacket which must have been slow smoldering from an incendiary round that hit him during the night and suddenly caught fire.

They shot him.
