THEY WERE SENT TO KOREA to fight in old, rusty, Pershing tanks from the previous war. The men referred to them as General MacArthur’s rolling junkyards. The tanks couldn’t run for a mile without overheating so they traveled behind enemy lines on flat cars, by rail. There were no replacement parts, no repair crews, no ammunition for their worn-out weapons, radios that didn’t work and dorms that had no beds but plenty of lice. They came from farms, small towns, big cities, all willing to risk everything for their country: their well-being, their sanity, their lives. Their country should have provided them with the training, the equipment, and the weaponry to do the job. But as Stearns reveals inMemories from the Forgotten War, during the action in Korea, the Army, the generals, the strategists, and the tacticians, failed the fighting forces in every way. Harry Stearns is the kind of man Americans have always loved to cheer for—brash, quick-thinking, smart-alecky, wise-cracking, and unafraid. But as a result of the mistakes, fog of war, and high-level bungling, Harry and his fellow soldiers were overrun by the enemy, captured, interrogated, and beaten. In the end they escaped, Stearns living to give us an erudite account of the real events in Korea from a political, strategic, and very human level.

"Purple Hearts-Battle Scars" is a vivid and sensitive account of combat in the Korean War as seen through the eyes of a nineteen-year old Marine sergeant. This is no macho book; with nine months of combat and two Purple Hearts, the author has no need to prove his credentials or his manhood. Rather, he quietly and movingly shares his experience of war, of the loss and the courage, of the comradship and the pain, and of the grim reality that in modern warfare survival is mosly a matter of luck--and he shows us what it is like when the luck runs out and the hot shell fragment tears into flesh. We learn the weapons and the tactics, the terror of night battles and we see the hills devoid of vegetation as the constant shelling reduces the land to powder. A Foreword and an Afterword by Marine Lt. General Bernard E. Trainor (Ret.) provide this book a context that gives the reader both an overview and a concluding point of rest.

The Korean War has been called the “forgotten war,” not as studied as World War II or Vietnam. Choi examines the collective memory of the Korean War through five discrete memory sites in the United States and South Korea, including the PBS documentary Battle for Korea, the Korean War Memorial in Salt Lake City, and the statue of General Douglas MacArthur in Incheon, South Korea. She contends that these sites are not static; rather, they are active places where countermemories of the war clash with the official state-sanctioned remembrance. Through lively and compelling analysis of these memory sites, which include two differing accounts of the No Gun Ri massacre\--contemporaneous journalism and oral histories by survivors\--Choi shows diverse narratives of the Korean War competing for dominance in acts of remembering. Embattled Memories is an important interdisciplinary work in two fields, memory studies and public history, from an understudied perspective, that of witnesses to the Korean War.

In contrast to the many books that use military, diplomatic, and historic language in analyzing the Korean War, this book takes a cultural approach that emphasizes the human dimension of the war, an approach that especially features Korean voices. There are chapters on Korean art on the war, translations into English of Korean poetry by Korean soldiers, and American soldier poetry on the war. There is a photographic essay on the war by combat journalist and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Max Desfor. Another chapter includes and analyzes songs on the Korean War - Korean, American, and Chinese - that illuminate the many complex memories of the war. There is a discussion of Korean films on the war and a chapter on Korean War POWs and their contested memories. More than any other nonfiction book on the war, this one shows us the human face of tragedy for Americans, Chinese, and most especially Koreans. June 2000 was the fiftieth anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War; this moving volume is intended as a commemoration of it.
