This Kind of War

This dramatic account of the nearly disastrous Korean War is written from the perspective of those who fought it.

While partly drawn from official records, operations journals and histories, this book is largely based on the personal narratives of the small-unit commanders and their troops.

The book provides both an overview of the war, and a "you were there" account of American soldiers in fierce battle against the North Korean and Chinese communist invaders.

T.R. Fehrenbach is the author of "Comanches", "Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans" and "Seven Keys to Texas".
