Subjects / The Korean War

Best books to learn The Korean War, in order

The Korean War is called 'forgotten' partly because its causes are tangled in the end of one war and the start of the Cold War. A good path first sets the division of the peninsula and the slide into fighting, then follows the campaigns and the Chinese intervention, then weighs its long shadow over Korea and the world. Order rescues it from being a footnote.
