The Korean War: Pusan to Chosin
Chronicles the first seven months of the war, drawing on the personal stories of hundreds of veterans and battalion and regimental records from the National Archives.
The Korean War
Begun in The Korean War: Pusan to Chosin, Donald Knox's engrossing and stunning oral history continues here with the last two and a half years of the war and the uneasy armistice achieved in 1953. For too many Americans the Korean War is a piece of history that remains vaguely remembered and scantly acknowledged. Yet the death toll for U.S. service personnel in the three years in Korea was virtually the same as in ten years in Vietnam, and the motivation of the soldiers who risked their lives was no less noble than those who fought in World War II. Knox, determined that the human side of the Korean conflict--the mud and the frost, the fear and the exultation, the gallantry and the sacrifice--be fixed in memory, undertook the formidable task of collecting the experiences of the soldiers who fought in Korea. His own narrative, with additional text by Alfred Coppel, is interwoven here with soldiers' words to create a riveting account of a brutal war.

John Knox, a Biography
John Knox was born around the year 1514, close to Haddington, Scotland. Greatly influenced by George Wishart, who was burned at the stake for heterodoxy in 1546, Knox became the spokesman for the Reformation in Scotland. This is a good book that covers the major events of Knox's life without being too long and laborious. It would be difficult to write a book about John Knox without bringing in the life of Mary Stuart, the only legitimate child of King James V. of Scotland, who died when she was a mere infant. This book tells of her marriage to Francis, Dauphin of France, and of her short time as Queen before his death of a brain tumor. Her return to be Queen of Scotland by what she believed was a "divine right," was clouded by heavy mists, both literally and figuratively. One will read of the political intrigue involving Mary, a Roman Catholic, her Protestant nobles, and of course her inevitable collision with John Knox.
