Remembering Korea - Australians in the War of 1950… by George Odgers

The book is full of facts and details about the Australia's in the Korean War - in fact it reads like despatches to command and lacks any humanity. I learned very little about the actual people fighting the war or of the effect of the war on the Koreans
