Synopsis
This is the story of the Korean War, told by those who lived it - pilots and sailors, chiefs of state and foot soldiers, generals, guerrillas, and diplomats. From the post-World War II division to the first Soviet-American political argument, the June 1950 invasion to the truce talks, Witness to War: Korea provides the story of the war in the words of those who fought it; a timeline of events; maps and photographs; and a perspective that goes beyond the battlefields - to offer new insight into this defining moment in American history.

About the Author
Rod Paschall is a military history instructor at West Point.
From Booklist
Paschall's history of the Korean War is of modest dimensions (and, therefore, selective coverage) but of high quality. Paschall of necessity views the conflict from the perspective of the half-century since its end. That half-century included the end of the cold war, an event which allows him to place the "forgotten war" in Korea in context as an early and necessary victory for the opponents of Communism. Paschall's narrative is straightforward, and his analyses of such issues as those involving the POWs of both sides and that of the role of MacArthur (who emerges as a superb strategist who lacked any political judgment worth mentioning) are brief but sound. On the whole, Paschall provides one of the best introductions to the Korean War in quite a while. His effort definitely deserves to be in any modern history or military history collection.
