It's a good introduction to the Korean War and its wider context and would make an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to know more about that particular global spot.

Miniature Wargames, November 2018 – reviewed by William De Prêtre

A very comprehensive Timeline extends from the 1875 Japanese invasion of Korea through to the detailed period 1945 – 1950. A twelve-page Dramatis Personae covering the key players from North and South Korea, Communist China, the UK, UN, USA, and the USSR. The Introduction covers from 1945 until July 2017 when Kim Jong-un test fired intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The incredibly ill prepared South Korean Forces, even with US reinforcement from their troops, ships and aircraft located in Japan, were eventually pushed into a ‘postage stamp’ in the SE corner of the Korean Peninsula (the Pusan Perimeter).
Included are three excellent coloured maps: The Korean Peninsula (today) and battle maps of the North Korean invasion (25 – 28 June 1950 and 14 July – 4 August). The aircraft of the US, South and North Korea are illustrated as are the infantry weapons initially involved in the conflict. Again newspaper reports have greatly enhanced the narrative. Included is a short selected Bibliography. A second Korean War volume on the United Nation’s Command’s fight for survival is forthcoming.
A precise account of a recent war that has yet to see peace declared.
