Format:Taschenbuch
All the current Korean War commemorations here in the Washington D.C. made me realize how little I really knew about it. I was so pleased to find FIRE AND ICE. It was easy and enjoyable to read and really helped me understand what the war was all about.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book provides an excellent overview of the Korean War. Considering the increased interest in the Korean War due to the 50th Anniversary, this is a great resource for students and historians. Korean War veterans should be pleased with this book which will heighten awareness of the contributions made by these brave Americans and their allies during the Forgotten War.
Format:Taschenbuch
Whether you're simply curious about the Korean War, knowledgeable on the subject but looking for new details, or desperately researching a paper due in two days, FIRE AND ICE has what you need. Don't let the scholarly foreword by Col. Jessup scare you away, author Michael Varhola's style is extremely easy and free-flowing.
Varhola presents, in orderly fashion, clear descriptions of war on the ground, in the air, and at sea; battlefields; details of the military forces in the conflict; and weapons, vehicles, uniforms, insignia, and various equipment. All of the above includes black & white photographs, maps, and diagrams. A chapter on "Warlords and Statesmen" gives miniature biographies and actions of the leaders involved. Chronologies of the war are given in both the chapter "Armistice Negotiations" and in an appendix covering the war as a whole. The grim chapter on POWs deals not only with the atrocities of the time but also follows the continuing governmental conflicts over war crimes to the present day. A final chapter covers the Korean War as presented in books, on film, and online. An appendix explains military terms and acronyms, and for those who like their information boiled down into bite-sized pieces, there is a facts and figures appendix, plus the previously mentioned chronology.
If you want or need to know about the Korean War, this book is a splendid gateway.
