Books - Korean War

[Patriot]

I just finished reading "The Marines of Autumn" by James Brady and it was
a good read. Next up is "In the Company of Heroes": A True Story by Michael J.
Durant and Steven Hartov (Somolia/Mogadishu/Blackhawn Down)

Since finishing Marines of Autumn I am now wanting to read a good book on
the Korean War. Anyone got any recommendations? I would like it to be
a factual and historical look at the war both militarily and politically. If anything
in the Brady book is factual there should have been some court martials and
public hangings over this debacle.

Break Out by Martin Russ.

That looks good. Thanks. I also want to get a better idea of the entire war.
The events leading up to it, the decisions surrounding the entire war, and
the events leading to the ending of the war.

The war isn't over, no 'real' cessation of hostilities has been signed, just a general cease fire.

Understand. Wikipedia has a really good summary of the various phases of the
war. The major battles, etc. as well as a good summary of the various books
and literature on the war.
