 | This Kind of War by T. R. Fehrenbach
A dramatic, authoritative, and hard-hitting account of this nearly disastrous war, written from the perspective of those who fought it. While partly drawn from official records, operations journals, and histories, This Kind of War is based largely on the compelling personal narratives of the small-unit commanders and their troops. It provides both a panoramic overview of the war and a sharply drawn you were there account of American soldiers in fierce battle against the North Korean and Chinese communist invaders. It is a lesson for the future. AUTHOR: T. R. Fehrenbach
