- Summary
- This is the story of the Korean War, told by those who lived it - pilots and sailors, chiefs of state and foot soldiers, generals, guerrillas, and diplomats.
- From the post-World War II division to the first Soviet-American political argument, the June 1950 invasion to the truce talks, Witness to War: Korea provides the story of the war in the words of those who fought it; a timeline of events; maps and photographs; and a perspective that goes beyond the battlefields - to offer new insight into this defining moment in American history.
