All efforts were directed to give adequate coverage to all units and to present an accurate and objective account of their activities from the end of the Heartbreak Ridge action on 25 October 1951 which concluded the first volume to 30 November 1952. The account of tactical operations for infantry united was carried through until 31 December 1952 when the Division was relieved and moved into reserve. Emphasis was placed upon photographs to record forever this period of the Division's history for the men who lived it. The 2nd Infantry Division "Indianhead"; "2ID" "2nd ID" or "Second D" is a formation of the United States Army. With the outbreak of hostilities in Korea during the summer of 1950 the 2nd Infantry Division was the first unit to reach Korea directly from the United States. The entire division was committed as a unit on 24 August 1950 relieving the 24th Infantry Division at the Naktong River Line. In the 16-day battle the division's clerks bandsmen technical and supply personnel joined in the fight to defend against the attackers. The Chinese winter offensive was finally blunted by the 2nd Infantry Division on 31 January at Wonju. In February 1951 the division repulsed a powerful Chinese counter-offensive in the epic battles of Chipyong-ni and Wonju. In August 1951 it was on the offensive once again ordered to attack a series of ridges that had been designated threats to the Eighth Army's line. These actions would devolve into the terrible battles that would become Bloody Ridge and Heartbreak Ridge. Toppan Printing Co., Ltd hardcover
