Koreans in June 1950. This superbly illustrated book traces the
fluctuating fortunes of war from both sides. The South Koreans were
saved from defeat by the arrival of the American and UN forces
under General MacArthur but the success of his offensive brought in
the Chinese who undetected by the Allies, counter-attacked with
over a quarter of a million men of the Peoples Volunteer Army. Once
again the Allies fell back and a stalemate developed. No peace
treaty was ever signed.The story is well told in photographs,
captions and text. Many of the images portray the brutal nature of
the war, where neither POWs nor civilians were safe.Korea was
arguably the last major conflict fought outside the glare of the
media and the photographs in this fine book give a unique insight
into the conflict.
