Korean War Books
GREEN BERETS IN KOREA
The book telling the story of the Commando. The report on the book by the publishers states:
It is full of descriptive accounts given by those who took part in the combat, and someof whom Subsequentlybecame prisoners of war; The descriptions of the inhuman treatment they received can be quite harrowing to read.
The book details the political history of the Country and the run up to war.
It tells of the comradeship between US and British Marines and the honours
that were bestowed upon them. This is not the usual`dry textbook,butchery
readable account of `The Forgotten War', as the Korean War became known."
There are stories (warts and all) by our members, some telling tales about others.There are accounts by some of the US Marines we met along the way. The foreword has been written by Stephen Olmstead SSMC Ret. Steve was a young PFC. with G-3-1 at Chosin and was part of Task Force Drysdale when we went up the road to Hagaru-Ri. A detailed account is given of how the 1st Marine Division was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. The USMC fight to obtain the citation for 41 Indep.Cdo., and how British bureaucracy nearly thwarted their endeavours. Throughout the book there are sections about those taken prisoner, and a complete chapter devoted to POW's, including, what I hope is a fair portrayal of Andy Condron, his work in the POW camps, why he decided to stay with his captors, his time in China and his reception in the UK when he returned with his family.

STALAG 65
 | (A Prisoner of Two Armies)
The amazing story of a South Korean student drafted by the press gangs of North Korea's 'Peoples Army' into their
'Peoples' "Volunteer Army". Deserting the North Koreans, he was taken captive by South Korea.
He then spent two years of living hell in a struggle to stay alive in POW cages dominated by North Korean and Chinese communists. The red POWs revolt at Geoje-do (Koje) island and its inept handling is covered in detail.
His comments in reference to U.S. adherence of Geneva Convention Protocols give pause should the U.S. ever again be involved in an Asiatic war.
There are lessons here to be learned by American soldiers and heeded by American military command.
