Korean War

by Maurice Isserman, John Stewart Bowman

Believing it could act with impunity in a world exhausted by war, communist Korea decided to invade and annex western-allied South Korea in June 1950. Three years of brutal fighting followed. This work recalls to life this momentous but largely forgotten event from American history.

Reviews

[Connie G · Rating 4 out of 5]

The revised edition (2010) of "Korean War" goes into quite a bit of detail about military strategy, although political considerations are also addressed. Part of the "America at War" series, it would be most suitable for high school students or older.
