More than 36,000 American servicemen died
in combat or by other causes during the Korean War. As terrible as
this figure is, it pales in comparison with the war’s nearly two
million civilian deaths. And the South Korean armed forces, whose
soldiers were drawn from a male population half the size of the
Union’s in the American Civil War, suffered more combat deaths than
the Union army. All these statistics cannot hide the fact that
ultimately the Korean War, like all others, is about the lives and
deaths of individual human beings. THEIR WAR FOR KOREA tells the
individual’s story. And although war as a human phenomenon has
essential elements that have repeated themselves from the dawn of
recorded history, every war is unique unto itself. The forty
vignettes of THEIR WAR FOR KOREA, placed in proper context by
renowned historian Allan R. Millett, catch the uniquely Korean and
international flavor of this terrible war while telling its
essentially human story. |
