À propos de cet audio

 It was the first war we could not win. At no other time since World War II have two superpowers met in battle. Max Hastings, preeminent military historian, takes us back to the bloody, bitter struggle to restore South Korean independence after the Communist invasion of June 1950.

Using personal accounts from interviews with more than 200 vets, including the Chinese, Hastings follows real officers and soldiers through the battles. He brilliantly captures the Cold War crisis at home, the strategies and politics of Truman, Acheson, Marshall, MacArthur, Ridgway, and Bradley, and shows what we should have learned in the war that was the prelude to Vietnam.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Rings true and will surely stand the test of time....Max Hastings has no peer as a writer of battlefield history." (Stephen E. Ambrose)

The work it's self presents a compelling and enlightening look into such a confusing conflict. I enjoyed listening emensly and feel as if I have a good picture of the Korean war from all sides of the conflict. The only down side is that the narrator regularly fades in and out, as if he is sitting back in his chair and then leaning into the mic. I feel like this is a recording quality oversight that should have been caught in production. However, the quality of the writing is such as to be able to overlook such a minor issue.
