pickThe authors present a clear comparison between the histories of North and South Korea, based on fairly extensive expertise for Westerners. The authors are a former U.S. security official/political scientist and a political economy professor, and it reads like it. It is clear and concise, but dry. It also needs better editing in several places. In summary, read for the info/analysis, not for a gripping read or great writing.
Um, I might be missing something, but 2,000 x 5 is actually 10,000? Which technically is over 5,000, I guess?
Not super impressed by the editing in this book, even before I came across this.
pickI learned a lot about what our Marines endured during the Korean War from this book.
pickVery detailed account of the war, check that, Police Action, that never officially ended
Just got the call that we don‘t have school tomorrow or Wednesday because of extreme windchills (the low is -55 degrees) and in fact our governor has declared a state of emergency for Wisconsin because of it! I won‘t be going to far from my fireplace!!
pick2017 #68 nonfiction audio in harrowing detail the exact nature of this forgotten or at least ignored war is brought to light in this extremely well researched and well read book. I studying this in passing in high school and then in uni where it was used as a stepping stone between WW2 and Vietnam. With all that is brewing this should be a must read. *
After years of citing this wonderful book on numerous research projects, finally going to read it cover to cover! Really excited for this
I need to take all the books out to move my bookshelf, and thought I might re-shelve according to color, like I've seen some people on the internet do. I ran into a problem when I realized that the distribution of colors is so uneven that it's pointless. The books are in an impossible state. 😎
