Description:
New book, 310 pages, some shelf wear to cover. More than 36,000 American servicemen died in combat or by other causes during the Korean War. As terrible as this figure is, it pales in comparison to the war's nearly two million civilian deaths. This book tells the individual's story. Although war as a human phenomenon has essential elements that have repeated themselves from the dawn of recorded history, every war is unique unto itself. The forty six vignettes, placed in proper context by renowned historian and best selling author Allan R. Millet, catch the uniquely Korean and international flavor of this terrible war, while telling its essentially human story.
