This review is from: Korean War in Color (DVD)

I purchased this DVD for my Father who is a Veteran and ex POW of the Korean war. We both agree that this is one of the best documentaries on the subject yet. High quality narration and footage give the viewer a good understanding of how and why the war was fought.

This review is from: Korean War in Color (DVD)

The quality of the color footage is excellent & an order of magnitude better than any WW2 color doc you'll see. Most of the content is from filmers attached to the Marines, but there is also some Army & air footage too. The doc is loaded with Pershings in action, and you get a good feel for the period color 'Marine Corps Green', which is like a deep Bronze green. The coverage is mainly action, very little on politics. Pershings blasting, Corsairs dropping napalm, grunts shooting flamethrowers...you get the idea. A must have if you are a Korean War military historian, and for WW2 buffs who want to see the same equipment used in high quality color film. Buy it & see how some very underappreciated warriors held back the Red Beast & won the second round of the Cold War (Berlin Airlift being the first). Unfortunately the generation of the time, spoiled with the absolute crushing victories over the Axis Powers of WW2, cynically dubbed the war 'to die for a tie'. Tell that to the generations of South Koreans who have been spared a life under the insane dictators to their north. In absolute terms, the war was as much a victory for the US/UN as was the First Gulf War. Limited objectives...keep South Korea & later Kuwait, free.

This review is from: Korean War in Color (DVD)

As a Korean combat infantry veteran of the 1953 summer campaign, this CD does a good job of summarizing all the major war activities of the Korean 1950-1953 war, and in full color. This same CD is sold in South Korea gift shops for veteran's purchase, as I made a return visit to South Korea, and saw it there on my re-visit tour.
