Description: Brassey's, Washington, 1994. First Thus, Hardcover (Original Grey Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Very Good. 9780028811130 Titles, contents list & foreword to front. "This Kind of War" by T. R. Fehrenbach is a classic, hard-hitting Korean War history that offers both a panoramic overview and a "you were there" account, focusing on the personal narratives of small-unit commanders and troops. The book is organized chronologically into three parts with 40 digestible chapters. The narrative follows the North Korean invasion in June 1950 and the entry of United Nations forces led by the United States soon thereafter. Although This Kind of War starts with a quotation from Sun Tzu, Fehrenbach adopts a Clausewitzian approach. He understands the Korean conflict not as a test of power but of wills, in particular, of American will. The Communists, he writes, doubted that the United States “had the will to react quickly and practically and without panic in a new situation.” They were wrong, but it cost ca. 37,000 American lives to prove it.
