from University of California Press
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
In this fascinating and quick-paced book, Jenkins answers questions that have nagged many people for 39 years. Why did he cross over to North Korea? Did he work against US interests while in North Korea (including being an interpreter in the capture of the USS Pueblo)? Did he want to be that kind of... more info

2.About Face: The Odyssey of an American WarriorAbout Face: The Odyssey of an American Warrior
from Touchstone
Price: $16.32

Customer Review:
This is a story of a soldier in an army in decline, a lost war and a premature end of a magnificaint career. It is also the most motivating war story that I've ever read. It is the story of a man with barely a 7th grade education who joins the army at 15 years old and earns a battlefield commission... more info

3.The Coldest War: A Memoir of KoreaThe Coldest War: A Memoir of Korea
from St. Martin's Griffin
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I first read, "The Coldest War" when I was in the military myself.
My training and duty seemed hard and long to me, but compared to what the guys in the Korean War went through, it was a cake walk.
This book reads smoothly, transitioning from his training to his war time in Korea. There... more info

4.Operation Broken Reed: Truman s Secret North Korean Spy Mission That Averted World War IIIOperation Broken Reed: Truman's Secret North Korean Spy Mission That Averted World War III
from Da Capo Press
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
I am convinced that Broken Reed is fiction pretending to be fact. Being an academic, I regard fraud as a serious office.
Here are some of the claims in the book that I find particularly implausible or nonsensical. I suppose in any true spy story there are likely to be a few implausible... more info

6.I Remember Korea: Veterans Tell Their Stories of the Korean War, 1950-53I Remember Korea: Veterans Tell Their Stories of the Korean War, 1950-53
from Clarion Books
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
You may like this book if you're looking for a more personal side of the Korean conflict. The book consists of very short snippets (one or two pages) of the people who severed and may include a letter back home. The letters are very vague in nature, typical to the era. "Lost my buddy yesterday,... more info

7.Toward the Flame: A Memoir of World War IToward the Flame: A Memoir of World War I
from University of Nebraska Press
Price: $16.16

Customer Review:
Hervey Allen is at his finest in this carefully crafted memoir of his time as a soldier in France. While he is best known as author of the sweeping historical fiction Anthony Adverse, which was a best seller in the 1930s(and later a pretty mediocre movie), he proves in Towards the Flame that he is... more info

This was an eye opener on stories untold before. Have read many military books but this was an area machine guns, that I never read about before and the importance and bravery of these men. Well done.

from Potomac Books Inc.
Price: $8.95

Customer Review:
In the world of foreign military advisors, Ben Malcom's name is not a household word in comparison to Joe Stilwell, John Glubb, Edward Lansdale, and, of course, T E Lawrence. His short memoir of life with North Korean guerrillas during the Korean War deserves to be read along with those of his more... more info

10.Scrappy: Memoir of a U.S. Fighter Pilot in Korea and VietnamScrappy: Memoir of a U.S. Fighter Pilot in Korea and Vietnam
from McFarland
Price: $29.95

Customer Review:
It was great book that was only marred by numerous technical errors. The three that I remember are the misspelling of Iwakuni and Tachikawa, Japan and the placing of McConnell AFB in Topeka, Kansas and not in Wichita, Kansas. Considering that an Air Force man wrote the story about another Air Force... more info
