America at War - Korean War


The Korean War began in June 1950 and ended three years and one month later. Fifty-four thousand Americans died in the war, in addition to 1 million Chinese and perhaps 3.5 million Koreans. Despite this bloody record, the war is sometimes called America s forgotten war. This book is a revised edition of The Korean War; originally published in 1992 and then updated in 2003 as part of the Facts On Files America at War series. As such, it offers even more new features. These include an entirely new chapter on weaponry and tactics employed in the Korean War, a sidebar that considers the arguments for and against the belief that the Korean War was a just war, many new color illustrations, and an updated bibliography.
