This Kind of War: The Classic Korean War History Audiobook

" Great book, particularly about a war that isn't as well known as some of the other US wars. Definitely an eye opener. "

" If you'd like to learn what you didn't learn about the Korean War in the public schools, read this book! "

" The best history from the American point of view of the Forgotten War. A must read for all Army Officers. "

" This book gives a very detailed account of the Korean conflict. I was surprised that the last half of this war was basically meaningless. I thought it was very well researched. I enjoyed this book. "

" This is _the_ book about the Korean War, which may not be saying much because there aren't many books about this conflict. But, even if there were, they'd have a tough time besting this excellent account. "

" Long and dry, this book is the quintessential book about the Korean War. It touches upon all aspects of the war from the boot private all the way through that of Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower. Its depth of scope is impressive. "

" Even though it was written 50 years ago, still very applicable to America today. Very interesting study of why the American people will always be at odds with its own military and other countries in the world. "

" A history of the Korean War. Very readable and in a narrative format. Entertaining without all of the maps and details that keep you from seeing the big picture. "

" Once of my favorite military history books. More inspirational and philosophical than historical. But I think that somebody needs to write a book like this for the current conflict we face in Iraq, if the administration wants to have the American people buy into why we're fighting over there. "

" I knew close to nothing about the Korean War before reading this book, which I found very enlightening. "

" I am currently about halfway finished. "

" One of the best histories of the Korean war from the small unit and individual soldier perspective. "

" Probably the strongest and most scathing description of the necessity for military discipline under fire. Neither for the faint of heart nor for those with delusions about the terrible necessity of battle. "

" extraordinarily thorough, but to a fault. i felt like i didn't know enough about the korean war, and this book certainly rectified that. that doesn't, however, make it a masterpiece of a book. i feel like there should be a condensed version that is 40% shorter. "

" Masterful history of the Korean War. Fehrenbach is an underrated historian, and this book well-deserves the "classic" moniker. Chapter 25, "Proud Legions," can be read as a stand-alone, a warning that today's America would do well to heed. "
