Vice Admiral James H. Doyle, U. S. Navy (Retired)
(Admiral Doyle, a graduate of the Naval Academy, has been c°nnected with the Navy's amphibious force during most of his noval career. He was Commander Attack Force and Commander Task Force 90, Inchon, Korea, in addition to being Mnmander Amphibious Group One, during part of the Korean Conflict.)
Both books are on the same subject, the Amphibious invasion of Inchon, Korea, on 15 k’eptember 1950, and subsequent capture of lhe capital of Korea—Seoul.
At the outset, it is appropriate to note that this reviewer was a participant in the opera- t'on as Attack Force Commander, and fully c°gnizant of the facts. I will, however, strive t° be objective in my reviews. I may slip a R but it will not be for want of trying.
Each book purports to be the story of the events during the period covered, in other '■'■'ords, a history. To be worthy of study, any •story should be accurate.
In Victory at High Tide, Colonel Heinl Quotes David Rees, who wrote that Inchon is a twentieth century Cannae, ever to be studied.” No one, I think, will deny that the , nchon operation is worth studying by those 111 the military profession in the years ahead, and since it took place very recently, as history goes, there is no reason why it should not be accurate. Therein lies a major difference between the two books Victory at High Tide and Hell or High Water.
Colonel Heinl’s Victory at High Tide is a superbly written narrative of the events, and reflects his vast knowledge of amphibious warfare, and of the tactics and spirit of U. S. Marines in achieving victory. His book recounts the step-by-step stages of the campaign, from the time of General MacArthur’s decision to strike at Inchon, until Seoul was returned by him to the Korean people, with the Lord’s Prayer. The many details of the planning and execution of this operation could not have been obtained from a study of the operation plans and action reports alone. Heinl has had access to the private files of participants and observers that have not previously been available. In addition, he has interviewed and corresponded with almost all of the key figures involved in the campaign.
In his book, Colonel Heinl spends little time with the initial drive of the North Koreans, the route of the R.O.K. forces, and the precarious hold on the perimeter at Pusan. All this, he notes, is outside the compass of his narrative.
The author describes why, from the amphibious point of view, both Navy and Marine, Inchon was the worst possible place to make the assault. It had all the hazards the amphibious planner seeks to avoid. It is apparent from the general attitude of the Tenth Corps Command, as related by Heinl, that the Army elements of the Corps gave little thought to the amphibious phase of the assault. Their plans began only after landing had been successfully effected.
General MacArthur, on the other hand, was familiar with the difficulties of an amphibious operation, but in his headquarters, that familiarity ended with him. General MacArthur called the operation a 5,000-to- one shot, but it is questionable whether he really thought so. My impression from the book, and from my personal knowledge, was that he was convinced it would be successful. He saw the chance of changing what appeared to be a stalemate into a sudden success and, for the enemy, a devastating disaster. A good guess would be that his choice of the USS Mount McKinley (AGC-7)—the attack force flagship—for observing the operation, was so that he could be at the finish line to watch his 5,000-to-one shot come in.
General MacArthur’s courage in making the decision is recognized by Heinl, and given the tribute it deserves. The General was, in effect, betting his military reputation that the Inchon invasion would produce the results he envisioned. When he delivered his extemporaneous talk to the doubting conferees, outlining his reasons why the landing at Inchon was the only place to deliver the decisive blow, he mentioned Wolfe’s defeat of Montcalm and the capture of Quebec. The author describes the event on pages 40 and 41 of his book. I have heard General MacArthur, at various times, refer to the Peloponnesian Wars and to many of the other wars listed and briefly described in War Through the Ages, by Lynn Montross. The General made his point each time. MacArthur knew history, and he had learned from it.
It was obvious, too, that General MacArthur had the utmost confidence in the Navy and Marines. Events proved that that confidence was not misplaced. Heinl writes that, after the successful conclusion of the landing, General Smith noted in his log, “D- day had gone about as planned.” This, to me, was fulsome praise for both the planning and the execution. As for those who thought that an amphibious landing was a purely mechanical operation, General Smith had the clincher: “The reason it looked simple was that professionals did it.” Those two remarks, I think, will be forever cherished by all of the participants.
Colonel Heinl then takes the reader ashore with the assault battalions. Their remarkable success on the “beaches,” with nightfall only
minutes away, speaks highly of the training and versatility of the Marines. From that point on, the actions of all elements of the First Marine Division in their drive to capture Kimpo airfield and Seoul are described in detail. The descriptions are written with a clarity that will delight the military reader, yet does not demand of other readers a training in ground warfare.
After the Tenth Corps assumed command ashore on 21 September, it was not long before differences surfaced between General Almond, the Corps Commander, and General Smith, the Commanding General, First Marine Division. General Almond had a dictatorial manner, and he “was consumingly impatient” to capture Seoul by 25 September- In contrast, General Smith, a forceful and brilliant officer, had a disarmingly mild manner that masked a rocklike hardness when it came to the welfare of his Division. These factors, together with General Almond s disregard of the actual enemy opposition) apparently had both Generals “up tight. This is all fairly described in Victory at High Tide. Seoul was captured in due course, and the reader has his choice of a date.
Colonel Heinl recognized in Victory at High Tide that, after a lapse of 18 years, the memories of participants did not always agree. Heinl accepted one version or anothei according to what he felt was the weight o» evidence. This is certainly one of the functions ; of an author recording history. Where there was disagreement, however, Heinl include3 the less preponderant version in the footnotes- This, it appears, was an admirable feature.
Victory at High Tide brilliantly fulfills the author’s hope as expressed in his preface: This phase of the Korean War did get into Colon? Heinl’s book.
Walter Sheldon, author of Hell or Hig'' Water, described himself as a writer 0 “popular history.” I am not sure what the term popular history signifies, but if it means that the history will not be dull, his boo qualifies in that respect. If, however, it mean5 that the story should be colored, or in pa^ fictitious, then, in this reviewer’s opinion, 3 may be “popular,” but is not “history.”

Inchon.” Sheldon devotes his initial chapters ’° the defense of the Pusan perimeter, conCentrating (as he does throughout the book) °n individual deeds of derring-do, which are characteristic of all wars. While such deeds *nake interesting reading, they should not be emphasized to the point where they detract [r°m the over-all picture. This is what Sheldon aas done in his book.
The author has given no serious attention to the planning and execution of the amphibious assault at Inchon, although if that ad failed, all the remaining events would not ave happened. The book gives the impres- Sl°n that the landing was purely incidental.
It is apparent in Hell or High Water that the author lacks a military background, which certainly would have been most helpful in 'Vriting on a rather complicated military subject. For example, he does not understand , relationship between the Attack Force ^ornmander, whom he described as an amphibious planner,” and the embarked Unding force, and the change that takes place ’Tut relationship in the course of the opera- 1011 (See Hell or High Water, p. 101).
Again, displaying a lack of military knowl- ^ Se> Sheldon fails to note the difference etween serving on a senior’s staff and serving an independent function under the com- ^and of that senior. This reviewer was not on eneral MacArthur’s staff, as stated on page > rather, I served in an independent com- l^and under his over-all command. Sheldon ra.s verified some of his statements by subs ^ting relevant portions of his draft manu- . *Pt to the persons concerned for comment. s, Clnl, °n the other hand, verified all of his ternents by the same procedure. Conse- ^tly, in Hell or High Water—unlike Victory Tide, I noted several descriptions of ^^nts which, in point of fact, did not occur. jj ey might have happened, hence they were , Incongruous, but they simply did not aaPpen.
th °n page 180 of Hell or High Water, th a,Ut^or describes a scene on the bridge of Mount McKinley following the successful ault on Wolmi Do. He writes that the first
real news of success was contained in a message from Admiral Struble, which was handed to me and which I read. There was no such message. The first news of success on Wolmi Do came from Wolmi Do in a report from Colonel Taplett, who was in command of the Wolmi Do landing force. In addition, the Colors—ours, let there be no mistake—were visible, flying from the summit of Radio Hill. This incident is correctly recorded on pages 92 and 93 of Victory at High Tide.
Immediately following that erroneous description, Sheldon tells of the arrival of Admiral Struble on board the Mount McKinley, and the subsequent close-up view of Wolmi Do by General MacArthur, Admiral Struble, and others in Admiral Struble’s barge. He records that I took one-half of the sightseeing party in my barge. This is not correct. My barge did not accompany Admiral Struble’s barge, nor did I leave the ship. (There was work to be done before the afternoon landing.) Sheldon also writes that General MacArthur and others in the group went ashore at Wolmi Do. Again, this is not correct. The tide was ebbing, the rocks off Wolmi Do were exposed, and not even a landing craft could have made it to the beach—much less an admiral’s barge.
These, and other errors could have been avoided by cross-checking with others who had knowledge of the facts. The purpose of calling attention to the errors is not for the sake of nit-picking. It is because those errors raise doubt as to the accuracy of many other incidents similarly recorded in the book. This in turn, makes Hell or High Water of questionable value as a source of history.
Hell or High Water suffers in comparison with Victory at High Tide. Both books are interesting and well written. However, the meticulous research done in preparation for Victory at High Tide, the voluminous notes supporting statements in the text, the bibliography, the excellent index, and the over-all superior writing, give the accolade to Victory at High Tide.
For the reader who wants to know what happened, in the words of today’s vernacular, Colonel Heinl, the author, tells it like it was.
