The Most Comprehensive Single-Volume History of the Korean War--Now 91% Off!

Off of the digital list price. Makes the price of this 540-page book an almost unbelievable 99 cents! I went back and checked from 2 1/2 years ago (the maximum that I could) and found that the price on this ebook has never been this low since at least then!

#1 seller in the Kindle store in one category.

No ruminating was necessary about this ebook--it's a definite must-post.

Book Description
This Kind of War is the most comprehensive single-volume history of the Korean-American conflict that began in 1950 and is still affecting United States foreign policy. Fifty years later, not only does this enlightening account give details of the tactics, infantrymen, and equipment, it also chronicles the story of military and political unpreparedness that led to a profligate loss of American lives in Korea.

T. R. Fehrenbach, an officer in the conflict, provides us with accounts of the combat situation that could only have been written by an eyewitness in the thick of the action. But what truly sets this book apart from other military memoirs is the piercing analysis of the global political maneuverings behind the brutal ground warfare that marked this bloody period of history, one that has been all but forgotten.

Hailed as “a must for all soldiers and former soldiers” by an Amazon.com reviewer,
This Kind of War restores the Korean War to its rightful place in American history—as a touchstone for US foreign engagement and a lesson for politicians ready to shed American blood on faraway soil.
