Coles A Short History of the Korean War at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This concise military history volume is "an excellent, coherent book that covers the major events of the Korean War admirably" ( Army ).
Historian James L. Stokesbury, author of A Short History of World War I and A Short History of World War II , summarizes the important events of the Korean War, citing all the major battles and key players in the conflict.
"Reducing an entire war to manageable length is a high literary art form, and Professor Stokesbury has mastered it. In the case of this Korean War history, short does not mean banal condensation or a dismal list of statistics and facts. Rather, Stokesbury begins from scratch and describes and interprets each phase of the war, as he did in his readable and well-known short histories of World Wars I and II. The narrative makes good sense of the infantry's complicated battlefield movements; and his interpretation of the air war is exemplary." — Library Journal
"A well-written, crisp and entertaining account." — Richmond News Leader
"Authoritative and absorbing." — Kirkus Reviews
