This collection examines Australia’s Korean War through strategic analysis, military history and participants’ recollections. Contributors place Australian operations within the wider conflict, including United Nations decisions, Chinese intervention and the changing capabilities of allied forces.
Sixteen chapters address fighting on the ground, coalition air power, naval aviation and command at different levels. Studies of Maryang San and the Samichon sit alongside accounts of nursing and the experiences of a platoon commander. The final section considers the war’s influence on later Australian strategy and relations in the region. Original maps, photographs, a chronology, glossary and index support the essays.
