Book Summary To compile the life of this amazing man in a single manuscript is almost impossible. His war years have been recorded many times, but there is also a person, an incredible person, who touched many lives and left a legacy and a spirit that will live on. -Zona Gayle Murray You've done a remarkable job pulling this project together and in capturing the history and the essence of this amazing man-how he lived and how he put his mark on this earth. I believe his spirit lives on in all the many, many, people he touched, which is his legacy. I agree that there will never be another like him, though I think that's exactly what we need: more people like Ray Murray. -Editor and author, Janet Wellington We asked you to get it right, and you did. The story of the Reservoir should be told by the people who experienced it. There was no one closer to it than Ray Murray. -Jack Buck, aide to Brigadier General Craig and historian with the Marine Museum, San Diego This tells the story of a great hero, who stood in the forefront of the pantheon of heroes. He helped form the Marine Corps into the fighting force it is today, never claimed credit for outstanding performance. -General Kenneth McLennan It is good to hear the full story: Ray Murray was the hero of the Chosin Reservoir where he saved thousands of Marines by leading a fearful, bloody trek to safety. His story is well known and has been recorded many times; it will be sung for centuries if the universe has any order at all. -Correspondent, John Van Doorn, winner of the Ernie Pyle Award I was with Ray Murray from the Pusan Perimeter through the frozen nightmare of North Korea. He was one hell of a leader. -Life correspondent and photographer, David Douglas Duncan At Hagaru-ri, I walked up to Ray Murray and openly commented, "Ray, you are a haggard ghost of the officer I watched lead the Fifth Marines in the assault on Red Beach of the successful Inchon landing." He replied, "Maggie, we've covered a lot of real estate since then." -Correspondent, Maggie Higgins Chesty Puller at Koto-ri: "Ray, when will the truth be told, the real truth about, the misdirected reason to proceed to the Yalu and the entrapment of the Marines at Chosin Reservoir?" There can never be enough written about this man. I've been in commands where I've called men Skipper. There was only one man who was really my Skipper. We called him Highpockets. -Author Leon Uris It was his humility that was paramount in his ability to lead. A man's man who stood head and shoulders above us all. Never used his position for himself. -Rev. Michel
