If you want to discover the captivating history of Korea, then pay attention...

The Korean Peninsula today is divided into two, but there was a time when this peninsula was divided into many states. Over the course of time, and besieged by expansive transient dynasties outside of this modest piece of land, many clans and tribes overran their lands. Of all those malicious and greedy potential overlords, none managed to prevail.

The soil is rich with the blood of the people who made Korea happen, and it is the Korean people who rose victorious among the maelstrom of dead empires led by hated tyrants and wars fought by people in lands far beyond their own. The Koreans are survivors, known for their persistence and courage.

right to the point

This is an excellent summary of the results of the Korean War. Whilst it doesn't offer much in the style of insights into life in Korea at the period, it gives a clear, step by step account of the actual events of the war.

Best Summary

This survey includes all the roots of the Korean conflict: political, tactical, strategic, cultural, and does it well within an Osprey setup. It was a war fought on two levels. The deeper level was fought between the two Korean countries wanting to join their whole country under their political control.

Terrible pronunciation

The story was interesting and the tone of the readers voice is nice, but the pronunciation impacts the listeners understanding of the history. For example, Joseon is pronounced one way in one changer and then differently the next chapter, leading me to believe it’s two different countries. Reader should have practiced the pronunciation of names of people and cities.

Really enjoyed this history book

Very informative and easy to understand. It was also interesting and didn’t bore you to tears

Good audiobook.

This audiobook included a lot of useful information in a simple to understand format. What a lousy bunch of politicians worldwide.

Insightfully fascinating

This audiobook shows much data that has helped me understand the Korean War. It gives information that is more comprehensive than any article on the subject. I would highly suggest it to anybody doing Level History or anyone involved in Asia.

Incredible guide

I'm planning to learn more about this subject and I would suggest this audiobook as it is a great idea to learn about a particular conflict without drowning you in huge amounts of facts and figures.

I really liked the flow of this audiobook

The writer gives the war in every aspect....political....soldiery...and human. It's a fair tale that discusses the participation of non-American allies as well as insight into the Communist aims and policies. I liked the author's discussion of the results of this war.

Really good audiobook.

This audiobook gives a detailed and complete account of the Korean War in a format that is clear and easy to understand. For a subject, this confused the writer does a great job of describing the war and its part in the Cold War.

Pretty awesome

It is educational and conveys knowledge in a way that is easy to understand. The audiobook also leads not to insult the intelligence of the user and does not leave you feeling you have been sold.
