The fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War gives both the Army and the nation an opportunity to honor those veterans who served in that hitter conflict. This volume, a companion to a similar work treating the first six months of the war, was prepared shortly after the war ended. Despite the passage of time, it still provides a valuable summary of more than two long years of combat through its text, photographs, and maps. Keeping this material in print for the commemorative period provides a new generation of soldiers with the opportunity to better understand that struggle and the sacrifices made by so many for a cause that was central to the international security policies of the United States. I am thus pleased to release this new printing of a classic photographic collection. Since the source of every photograph is noted at the back of this book, it is the Center of Military History's hope that various commands and offices throughout the Army will find this work useful also as a catalog of available photographs as they develop their own projects commemorating the anniversary of the war. Finally, I am mindful of the fact that as we honor those who served in the Korean conflict, we are also recognizing by extension those soldiers who continue to serve in Korea today, doing their own part in preserving freedom in a significant part of the world.
