Korea: Canadas Forgotten War: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Korea: Canadas Forgotten War" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The Korean War (1950-53) forms a little-known but exciting part of Canadas military history. The heroism and sacrifice of Canadians who fought in this conflict as part of the United Nations force has often been ignored. In this lively, anecdotal book, John Melady combines archival material and interviews with many Korean veterans. The result is a vivid, intensely human account of the war from its first days, to heroic battles such as Kapyong, to fascinating and more obscure incidents such as the Koje prison camp insurrection, as well as personal stories of doctors, POWs, and journalists who witnessed the conflict, including Pierre Berton and Rene Levesque.
The men from across Canada who served and fought were forever changed by what they saw and experienced in this faraway land. Army, navy, air force all receive their share of long-overdue praise in this important book, which was originally published in 1983 but is now fully revised.
