"The Korean War"
by Allan R. Millett
The Korean War (1950-53) began as a conflict between North Korea and South Korea and eventually involved the United States and nineteen other nations. An estimated three million people lost their lives during the war. For Americans who think that only GIs and thier United Nations contingent comrades fought effectively, "The Korean War" will be a surprising introduction to the valour and sacrifice of the South Korean army. This comprehensive view of the war from the South Korean perspective has not been previously available in English translation.
