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
