Historical Dictionary of the Korean War

The second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Korean War provides quick, easily found, and highly informative information for those interested in knowing about the Korean War. It covers the war in terms of people, places, events, and analysis, as well as carefully collected statistical and factual information about units, commanders, and casualties, for both the United Nations and its Communist adversaries. Covering the Korean War through a cross-referenced dictionary with entries on individuals ranging from Acheson to Zorin; battles and operations from Albany to Yo Yo; and events and items from A-Frame to Zone of Interior, Edwards offers a clear and concise account of the war. A chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, maps, and illustrations supplement the dictionary section, completing this essential reference.

Paul M. Edwards is senior fellow at the Center for the Study of the Korean War.
