         I'm writing to recommend a book on the Korean War, THIS KIND OF
WAR, by T.R. Fehrenbach. While I don't recall that he specifically mentions
the actions which occurred, on Jul 10,11 & 12, involving Co M. 3/21, his
descriptions of the early days of the fighting, in Korea, are the very best
& most accurate that I have seen, in print The book will give you some
degree of understanding in regard to what occurred, during that period. I
just checked BooksAMillion & the book is currently available, so you may be
able to obtain it from your Public Library. Best regards, jb
