Best Photographic History Book ,I ever had before ! Most of nice Pictures and as a Standard History

I arleqady read Robert F.Futrell's "United States Air Forces in Korea".D.M.Giangreco ,himself, wrote many subjects on Army Journal of "Military Review". This Book has many admireable areas such as Good line of contents arlong with Time Table of War also arlong with the title and it's contents. for example Not only mainly handled Battle of Army,Marine but also Battlle of Air Force and Navy. This also weigh on UN Forces. Overwheluming 521 clear and many new Photoes were also very imprressive !

A wonderful pictorial history

No other book can transfer the reader to the Korean War era and the many battlefields of that nearly forgotten conflict with such immediacy like Giangreco's book. It's one matter to read about a war and quite another to really see it and the faces of the participants! The photographs are all black and white but they are numerous and excellent and the human drama goes hand in hand with the operational aspects of the campaings. Highly recommended!

eye opener

I'm 22 and I got this book because I realized that I knew nothing about the Korean War. You rarely hear about this war, either in movies or in the news...you always hear about Vietnam vets and recently Iraq and Afghanistan. This book is basically a photo documentary with tons of pictures..I like it because I don't have much time to read due to a heavy school load, but the captions provided a lot of details and together with the pictures, it gives a brief but clear glimpse into this war. The pictures are 98% about the allies who were fighting against the north, I had hoped to see some pictures from the North Korean perspective...but there is probably a book out there that does that..if the Korean War isn't toooo forgotten. All in all, I reccomend this book to anyone who wants a quick and easy immersion into the Korean war.
