War In Korea, 1950-1953; A Pictorial History Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
On June 25, 1950, Communist North Korea launched a massive attack across the 38th Parallel against the Republic of Korea (ROK). Three years and over five million casualties later, on July 27, 1953, an armistice was signed, ending the war within miles of where it had started. Vastly smaller in scale than World War II and pushed into the background of our nation's consciousness by the extended trauma of Vietnam, it is only now, fifty years later, that its history is coming to the fore.

No other book can transfer the reader to the Korean War era and the many battlefields of that nearly forgotten conflict with such immediacy like Giangreco's book. It's one matter to read about a war and quite another to really see it and the faces of the participants! The photographs are all black and white but they are numerous and excellent and the human drama goes hand in hand with the operational aspects of the campaings. Highly recommended!
I arleqady read Robert F.Futrell's "United StatesAir Forces in Korea".D.M.Giangreco ,himself, wrotemany subjects on Army Journal of "Military Review".This Book has many admireable areas such as Goodline of contents arlong with Time Table of War alsoarlong with the title and it's contents. for exampleNot only mainly handled Battle of Army,Marine but alsoBattlle of Air Force and Navy. This also weigh on UN Forces.Overwheluming 521 clear and many new Photoes were alsovery imprressive !
The copy we purchased for a fellow Korean War vet was a used copy for a reduced price. It was in perfect condition. We were proud to give it to our friend.
My Dad was there . He looks at that book for hours and really loves it. I would recommend it for any Korean War Vet.
Interesting pictures, BUT NO IDENTIFICATION OF LOCATION OR CIRCUMSTANCES. ALSO IGNORES CHOSIN RESOVIOR THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE IN KOREA .
