Grim Reality,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Korean War: Volume 1: Pusan to Chosin: An Oral History (Paperback)
Great stories form people on the ground fighting the war. You make an emotional and intellectual connection with the men who fought there. Many stories are quite gripping as the terrain, weather and circumstances of the war were quite grim.
