The Korean War

Although sometimes forgotten in the shadows of World War II and the Vietnam War, the Korean War has at last begun to get its share of historical scrutiny.

This bibliography serves as an essential reference tool, guiding the researcher through the studies of the build-up to the war, its strategic aspects, the roles of China and the United Nations as well as the United States, and the events following the withdrawal of U.S. forces. This work: provides the latest scholarship in military history; includes essays written by top scholars in their fields; and, offers an indispensable introduction to the field and a guide for further research for students and seasoned researchers alike.

The books in the "Essential Bibliographics" series include an essay by a noted scholar on the important historiographical issues and a pertinent bibliography for a particular period or theme in military history.

They are valuable research tools for librarians, researchers, and students and can serve as a starting point for pursing further studies.
