Books on the Korean War?







I want to read historical books on the war that are in English but doesn't focus on the English/Australian/American side of the story. Like a legitimately translated book from Korean to English or of the like?


Answer
From Pusan to Panmunjom by General Paik Sun Yup (1992) is the most popular book written on the Korean War from a Korean perspective that is available in English.

Wikipedia has this text: "The Korean War, Volume I, II, III," University of Nebraska Press (2001) which was written, translated and edited by Koreans.

A good website/book 4 my thesis statement about the Korean War?

Q. most ppl that studied the Korean War in the U.S. .. mostly don't know... but if ur Korean .. ull know that.. most Koreans think the Korean War as a proxy war.... and arent there any primary sources or facts, infos to support this fact??

any websites/ books for this??

ppl who just give me wikipedia and just any websites... im not looking 4 what the Korean War is and all....

anyways . my thesis = The Korean War was a proxy war where both North and South Korea were controlled ideologically by expanding Communist and Democratic countries who finally settled on a stalement

...
lol there the U.S. and UN not north korea and south korea lol they didnt get to vote for anything including calling it a civil war and the stalemate.. lol


Answer
I have never heard any one claim that the US fought the Korean war for any other reason and the public statements of government leaders at the time constantly referred to stopping the spread of communism.
