Korea: Traces of a Forgotten War - Traces of a Forgotten War (Paperback)

The Korean War is often referred to as the "forgotten war". In his book, professor James N Butcher relives his experiences as an infantryman with Fox Company of the 17th Infantry Regiment, during the final year of the Korean War (1952-1953). In a graphic portrayal of living conditions on the front, Butcher describes combat actions that occurred in two major battles of this period -- the Battle for Jane Russell Hill (a part of Triangle Ridge) and the first Battle of Pork Chop Hill -- and makes a strong case for why we as Americans need to remember what happened there and why.
