Read a sample Read a sample
This illustrated history chronicles the ground combat of the Korean War through rare wartime photographs.
The Korean War opened with the invasion of South Korea by the North Koreans in June 1950. Over the next three years, intense ground fighting led to heavy casualties and much suffering. This illustrated history 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 drew in Chinese forces who counter-attacked with hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Peoples Volunteer Army. After a stalemate developed, no peace treaty was ever signed.
Military historian Philip D. Chinnery tells the story of the Korean War through dramatic archival photographs supported with detailed captions and an informative text. Many of the images portray the brutal nature of the war, offering a unique insight into the conflict.
