Does anyone have any suggestions for a good book about the Korean War? I prefer something where the author recounts his (or someone else's) experiences during the War. Something on the idea of Stephen Ambrose's "Band of Brothers" would be nice. I don't particularly enjoy reading factual books as they are kind of dry. Any thoughts?

Marty--the most interesting and enjoyable reading done to date by me on the Korean War comes from TR Fehrenbach's "This Kind of War." Marvelous book, great reading style, you will not be able to put it down....try it!

One book i have read is by Max Hastings.It is not an indepth study ofthewar,but does make for a fineread and gives a good overview.Itis simple called "The Korean War".I think you should be able to find it in your library?Not sure but it is available over here, the UK, so youshould be able to find it.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will definitely check both of these books out.

Pork Chop Hill, I think is a Korean War book.

I've got a book called "Chosin" by Eric Hamel...very detailed about probably the most significant event of the war.....came out in 1981 reprinted in 1990 by Presidio Press
