| Abstract | "They Were Chosin is based on a previous work, The Mud and the Mirth, which details U.S. Marine cartoonists in World War I. This book focuses again on one primary artist, Norval E. "Gene" Packwood, and two books he wrote and illustrated during the late 1940s and early 1950s: Leatherhead: The Story of Marine Corps Boot Camp and Leatherhead in Korea. They Were Chosin offers a humorous perspective on what was going on during the war. This book is not meant to be a definitive visual history of the Korean War. It is meant to share an aspect of the war, told through the cultural lens of comic characters"-- Provided by publisher. |
