About This Item
Lexington, KY: The University Press of Kentucky, 2004 The University Press of Kentucky, Lexington, KY. 2004. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: FineBlack boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 291 pp 8vo. The Korean War remains the forgotten war and also forgotten are the personal stories of tragedy, heroism, and survival from both sides of the front lines until now. This book is a major contribution toward recording and making public first-person accounts of the Korean War told by officers, enlisted, and, civilians. These stories highlight the soldier's experience, and the differences between them; American soldiers just wanted to get home; the Korean and Chinese soldiers had personal reasons in regaining their land and fighting with loyalty and pride. A vivid multidimensional portrait of the three-year long conflict. A clean very presentable copy.
