Product Description
At 4am on Sunday 25 June 1950 powerful North Korean forces invaded South Korea, advancing down the Uijongbu Corridor towards the Southern Capital of Seoul. South Korean troops resisted bravely, but were crushed by overwhelming Northern superiority. Later that day the United Nations Security Council condemned the aggression, and on 7 July appointed US General of the Army Douglas MacArthur to command UN forces which would be sent to save South Korea. Nigel Thomas and Peter Abbott explore the history of this conflict, which pitted UN forces against the People's Republic of China in a resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties.
Publisher Description
Packed with specially commissioned artwork, maps and diagrams, the Men-at-Arms series is an unrivalled illustrated reference on the history, organisation, uniforms and equipment of the world's military forces, past and present.
Reader Reviews
This book provides exactly what a frequent reader of the Osprey Men-at-Arms series would expect to see in a book about the Korean War. Within the tight constraints of the format, the various ground combatants and the ground war are described nicely. Air and naval aspects of the war are not covered in the book. My only complaint with the book is that the illustrator does a nice job with uniforms and equipment but is less capable with the human form and faces. It's not a major issue, but that is the sort of thing that separates 4 star ratings from 5 star ratings.
