While this book is about the Korean War, it is not a history of the Korean War. A more than sufficient number of books already exist to serve that purpose. As with most my books, it is more about people, and the amazing things they accomplish, with the events only a historical background in which their acts can be understood. The invasion of South Korea by North Korea was the first military action of what would become known as the Cold War, the ideological struggle between Communism and Capitalism.The United States spent around $67 billion on the war that lasted 3 years and 1 month.According to the U.S. Department of Defense, 33,739 Americans deaths were “hostile” with another 2,835 deaths classified as Non-Hostile for a total of 36,574 “In-Theatre” deaths. Another 103,284 were Wounded in Action. As of February 2019, 7,667 American soldiers are still unaccounted for (Missing in Action) from the Korean War.
