Battleground Korea: The British in Korea (1999) by Charles Whiting
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.4mb
Overview: In June 1950 the Cold War suddenly became hot when Communist-backed North Korean forces invaded the US-protected South Korea, and Britain came into the war on the side of the United States.
Although suffering financially after the demands of the Second World War, the British government sent a poorly equipped brigade of troops to South Korea to help the beleaguered US forces.
Anti-war dissent at home and threats to use the Atom bomb added to the danger of the situation, threatening a Third World War.
The US General MacArthur launched a surprise amphibious assault at Inchon behind North Korean lines, but victory was snatched from the combined US/British force by the entry of 600,000 Chinese troops into the war on the side of North Korea. The British and American soldiers were routed and in the Battle of the Imjin River that ensued, the ‘Glorious Glosters’ were butchered.
