The Last Stand of Fox Company
A True Story of U.S. Marines in Combat
Book • 2009
The Last Stand of Fox Company recounts the true story of Captain William Barber and 234 Marines of Fox Company who undertook a desperate defensive mission during the Korean War's darkest moment.
In November 1950, the undermanned unit climbed seven miles of frozen terrain to a rocky promontory overlooking Toktong Pass, where they endured four days and five nights of nearly continuous Chinese attacks.
With three-quarters of Fox's Marines killed, wounded, or captured, the unit faced being overrun until Lt. Colonel Raymond Davis led a daring relief mission to cut through Chinese lines.
Based on dozens of firsthand interviews with battle survivors, the authors deliver a fast-paced and gripping account of heroism and self-sacrifice in the face of impossible odds.
