The Inchon-Seoul Operation was a daring amphibious assault that was launched by United Nations forces in September 1950. The operation was a surprise attack on the North Korean capital of Seoul, and it was a major turning point in the war. The Marines played a key role in the operation, and they were responsible for capturing Seoul and driving the North Koreans back north.
The book U.S. Marine Operations in Korea, 1950-1953, Volume 2: The Inchon-Seoul Operation tells the story of this operation in detail. It describes the planning and execution of the operation, as well as the fighting that took place. The book also provides a first-hand account of the operation from the perspective of the Marines who fought in it.

In his book U.S. Marine Operations in Korea, 1950-1953, Volume 2: The Inchon-Seoul Operation, Lynn Montross takes the reader on a thrilling journey back to a crucial chapter of the Korean War. Montross masterfully narrates the daring military campaign that changed the tide of the conflict, from the planning stages to the final victory.
The central conflict of the book is the challenge of reclaiming Seoul from the North Korean forces. Montross artfully brings to life the pivotal moments of the Inchon landing and the ensuing battles to recapture Seoul. He captures the tension, heroism, and camaraderie of the Marines as they navigate treacherous waters and enemy territory.
Montross's writing style is both engaging and informative. He provides a clear and concise explanation of the planning and execution of the operation, while also weaving in personal accounts from the Marines who fought in it. The result is a book that is both a historical account and a page-turner.
