I was reading Clancy's 'Special Forces' and got interested, in the Korean War. Here's a timeline
and a good map of the Korean Peninsula (though it doesn't have Inchon, which is due west of Seoul, on the Yellow Sea).
South Korean and UN forces got rocked almost off the peninsula. McArthur helped change the tide with the daring Inchon Invasion.
The Battle of Chosin Reservoir was largely a fighting retreat where the Marines distinguished themselves. If you read that link, here's the map.
And a bonus link, also research coming from Clancy: Russian Aircraft Carriers (synopsis: not much).
