Sinossi
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".

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Hardback. Condizione: Fair. The fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War makes this an appropriate time to revisit This Kind of War, the monumental study of the conflict that began in June 1950. Successive generations of U.S. military officers have considered this book an indispensable part of their education. T. R. Fehrenbach's narrative brings to life the harrowing and bloody battles that were fought up and down the Korean Peninsula. Partly drawn from official records, operations journals, and histories, it is based largely on the compelling personal narratives of the small-unit commanders and their troops. Unlike any other work on the Korean War, it provides a clear panoramic view, sharp insight into the successes and failures of U.S. forces, and a riveting account of fierce clashes between U.N. troops and the North Korean and Chinese communist invaders. The lessons that Colonel Fehrenbach identifies still resonate. Severe peacetime budget cuts after World War I left the U.S. military a shadow of its former self. The terrible lesson of Korea was that to send into action troops trained for nothing but serving a hitch in some quiet billet was an almost criminal act. Throwing these ill-trained and poorly equipped troops into the heat of battle resulted in the war's early routs. The United States was simply unprepared for war. As we enter a new century with Americans and North Koreans continuing to face each other across the 38th parallel, we would do well to remember the price we paid during the Korean War.

Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Thus. Titles, contents list & foreword to front. "This Kind of War" by T. R. Fehrenbach is a classic, hard-hitting Korean War history that offers both a panoramic overview and a "you were there" account, focusing on the personal narratives of small-unit commanders and troops. The book is organized chronologically into three parts with 40 digestible chapters. The narrative follows the North Korean invasion in June 1950 and the entry of United Nations forces led by the United States soon thereafter. Although This Kind of War starts with a quotation from Sun Tzu, Fehrenbach adopts a Clausewitzian approach. He understands the Korean conflict not as a test of power but of wills, in particular, of American will. The Communists, he writes, doubted that the United States âhad the will to react quickly and practically and without panic in a new situation.â They were wrong, but it cost ca. 37,000 American lives to prove it. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xi + 483. Dust Jacket is fully intact, no tears or chips, but carries signs of light wear to top and bottom edges, corners etc. Dust Jacket un-clipped. Red titles spine. Includes chronology, glossary of weapons & index. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
