from Atlantic Monthly Press
Price: $12.42

Customer Review:
In the years following WW 2, America's political leadership allowed the military to go to hell in terms of equipment while it continued the usual American practice of civilianizing our troops as soon as possible. Thus, when the decision to reverse the North Korean conquest of South Korea was made,... more info

Book Review: The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten years in the North Korean gulag, by Kang Chol-Hwan
I thought this book might be a hard read. The Aquariums of Pyongyang chronicles the life of the author as a boy who, at the age of nine, was wrongfully imprisoned with his family in a North Korean... more info

from St. Martin's Griffin
Price: $11.71

Customer Review:
While this book serves as an authoritative history of North Korea and its two leaders, it does something more that demonstrates Martin's unique talent as an author and journalist: he is able to intertwine his personal experiences as a visitor to North Korea, interviews with refugees, and even a... more info

5.The Two Koreas: A Contemporary History (Revised and Updated Edition)The Two Koreas: A Contemporary History (Revised and Updated Edition)
from Basic Books
Price: $2.10

Customer Review:
Don Oberdorfer's The Two Korea's is a triumph of style over substance. To be sure, Oberdorfer is a compelling writer and he tells the story of North and South Korea since the 1970s with a great deal of flair. But Oberdorfer's overall knowledge of Korea and Korean history is very shallow. Oberdorfer... more info

6.The Korean WarThe Korean War
from Michael Joseph Ltd
Price: $132.69

Customer Review:
The author here is British and this book screams it from the first page. His bias of Brit=awesome, American=scrubs is equally as obvious. If the book was not so tainted with this bias one may learn some interesting facts from reading it. Unfortunately the biased comments throughout the book ruin it.

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $2.75

Customer Review:
"Gripping" is the only word I can find for this tale of the Chosin Resovoir campaign. To reduce it all to one line, the massively outnumbered U.S. Marines fought their way out of a Chinese trap that looked like a disaster. Russ puts us right in the midst of the freezing foxholes, bewildering... more info

from University of California Press
Price: $9.51

Customer Review:

My Goodness. This sonambulant fellow seems so disconnected from critical thinking it makes sense that he survived all those years in North Korea. From his ill conceived defection to the bumbling control of the North Korean handlers, his life seems cartoonish.
Yet, I do understand a poor... more info

from New Society Publishers
Price: $6.52

Customer Review:
I can only say that I was a bit dissappointed with the depth of material in the book. I feel I could find far more relevant info on the web. It's a great subject that deserved a deeper probing IMHO.
