The Korean War, a forgotten conflict in history, is brought to life through the compelling account of journalist and military historian Sir Max Hastings. This remarkable book delves into the depths of this brutal war, which unfolded on June 25, 1950, when the Communist North launched a devastating invasion of South Korea.
