London : John Murray, 1999. xii, 397 pages, 32 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm Includes bibliographical references (pages 378-385) and index. "This book tells the full story of the first, and critical, test by the Communist bloc of Western military resolve. Instead of concentrating wholly on the American involvement which was of course dominant, Michael Hickey also sets in context the contributions - many of them quite out of proportion to the size of their contingents - of the other nations that answered the UN call and sent troops in response to the North Koreans' surprise attack. Altogether some 100,000 British troops served, together with proportionate numbers from Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Turkey and elsewhere. Despite problems of culture and logistics, these troops' participation was often crucially important. The Republic of Korea's own army also became steadily more formidable under tough American training."--Jacket fast (OCoLC)fst00988609 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39Qhp4vB9ppv8vWbVQf96JxBX 1950-1953 fast Korean War, 1950-1953. has work: The Korean War (Text) https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCH7YjgTcMwdMd3BKbRpJKq https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork lcc BK DS918 H53 0 NO HOLDINGS IN GHUCC - 135 OTHER HOLDINGS 2922 2922 0 0 lcc 0 0 REF GAFC GAFC GEN 2024-12-10 0 DS918 .H53 2024-4447 2024-12-10 13:45:11 C.1 2024-12-10 BK
