Title: not too bad
Product review: Wilson wasn't in the Marines so there seems to be a resultant lack of overblown USMC rhetoric, which is refreshing. He gives a tepid overview of the campaign, but admittedly this is very difficult to do. There could have been more focus on the US Army units involved, but what little he does provide is even-handed and not bogus unlike a couple of other books on Chosin. The title, though, regurgitates the old fable of "Retreat, Hell! We're simply attacking in another direction", which Marine General O.P. Smith admits he never uttered (He was much too understated and professional).
