In Mortal Combat: Korea, 1950-1953 [Toland, John] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. In Mortal Combat: Korea, 1950-1953

Review: "In Mortal Combat" stands as the best book about the Korean War I have yet read. - “In Mortal Combat: Korea, 1950-1953” is an altogether magnificent account of the Korean War. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, biographer, and journalist John Toland, this book tells the story of how the Korean War was fought with great detail and in a wonderfully fast-paced and engaging writing style. Toland covers all aspects of the war very thoroughly. From the overall political and strategic goals of world leaders on all sides of the conflict, to many of the individual battles themselves, “In Mortal Combat” describes events in a manner that will keep readers turning pages. Once I started reading “In Mortal Combat,” I found it very difficult to put down. I’ve read several books about the Korean War, and “In Mortal Combat: Korea,1950-1953” stands as the best one I have yet read. The book is long enough (approximately 650 pages) to treat its subject in sufficient detail, but not so long as to become boring or bog the reader down. It comes complete with an excellent photo gallery near the end of the Kindle edition, and several very well-drawn in-text maps to assist readers in understanding various battles. An excellent read in every way. Highly recommended.
Review: Good, interesting history of the Korean War, but needs more maps. - John Toland's books are always interesting and well-researched, and this one is no exception. Even if you've read a lot on the Korean War, the personal stories and anecdotes will likely still interest you. The book, though, is sadly lacking in maps, which makes following the developments difficult (knowing where action is taking place, etc.). Otherwise, a very good book for those interested in learning more about the Forgotten War.

Great copy for a great price. Everything it said it was in the description on Amazon came earlier than expected I can’t wait to start reading it.
