Why read it?
1 author picked The Forgotten War as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
With a journalist’s eye for the telling detail and a historian’s grand perspective, Clay Blair wrote what I consider the finest account of the first year of the Korean War.

While I don’t agree with all of Blair’s conclusions, his experience as a war correspondent and historian combine to make this essential reading for all interested in the war.
From Steve's list on history books about the Korean War.
