PictureDan Breen
By the fall of 1950, the United States and its allies seemed on the verge of victory in the Korean War. All that changed at the end of November, when the U.S. Eighth Army was suddenly struck by overwhelming numbers of Chinese infantry. In a week full of terrible struggle, perhaps the most dangerous episode occurred when the Second Infantry Division had to fight its way south from a place called Kunu-ri, through massed Chinese roadblocks and amidst temperatures that reached 30 below zero, to save itself. This is the story of that battle, which has entered history as the "Battle of the Gauntlet."
