In the years to come, Korea's divided country would became a global political chessboard with the communists backing the offensive North and the U.S. and United Nations supporting the defensive South. What would follow were among the most brutal battles in the history of global warfare: the Pusan Perimeter, the Inchon Invasion, Pork Chop Hill, the Iron Triangle, and Heartbreak Ridge. The Korean War: Fire and Ice, the four-part History Channel series, explores the historical factors, political entanglements, and military strategies of this pivotal struggle in exceptional detail. Rare black-and-white footage is combined with a diverse and knowledgeable group of veterans to paint a gripping, complete perspective of the Korean conflict. From its politically intertwined beginnings through the brutal battles and the unsettling truce that would leave more than 2 million lives in its wake, the Korea conflict would set the standards of East and West relations for the next 50 years. In spite of its political, historical, and military significance, the Korean War remains one of the least examined incidents in modern warfare. The Korean War: Fire and Ice is an excellent telling of military history as it was encountered by those who were there. --Rob Bracco Average Rating:

The subject was never covered in history classes, which never managed to get beyond World War II by the time the semester ended, and I actually got most of what I know about the Korean War from "Frontline Combat" and "Two-Fisted Tales," a pair of war comics put out by EC and edited by Harvey Kurtzman, who put a high ...

The details of politcal strategy are lacking, but the military strategy is revealed. Highly recommendable. Browse for similar items by category:
