A Step by Step Account
This is an excellent account of the events of the Korean War. Whilst it doesn't offer much in the way of insights into life in Korea at the period, it provides a clear, step by step account of the actual events of the war. It details all of the major turning points in the conflict as well as giving the reasons behind the actions taken with regard to the political situation at the time. It is easy to read and I thouroughly reccomend it to anyone with an interest in military or Cold War history.
