The Korean War [EPUB ebook] 
Memories of Forgotten British Heroes

Ủng hộ

A dramatic and tragic episode in British military history that will soon not be part of living memory.
More than 100, 000 British troops fought in Korea between 1950 and 1953, of which just over 1, 000 died, with a further 1, 000 captured and held in atrocious conditions by the Chinese and North Koreans. At least half of those captured died in prison camps. More than 70 per cent of those who fought were teenagers doing National Service – poorly trained and ill-equipped.
The Korean War: Memories of Forgotten British Heroes tells the story of these men in their own words. Most of the veterans are now advanced in age and there is a pressing need for them to tell their tale. So soon after the Second World War, this was a conflict Britain did not need, but she remained steadfast by the side of the Americans, fighting more than 6, 000 miles away in a country barely anyone could point to on a map. Yet while we remember those conflicts in the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan, the Korean War remains largely forgotten.
