The History of the Korean War: A Fascinating Historical Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798633577389)

At the time when President Donald Trump was planning to meet the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, there was a lot of talk about how South Korea and North Korea had been in what was termed as frozen conflict as no peace treaty had ever been signed, since the Korean War of 1950-1953, which left about 3-4 million people dead.

While it did not get as much publicity as World War II and the Vietnam War (making it to be termed as "the forgotten war), this one war set the stage for decades of tension between the United States, South Korea and North Korea. And not just that; it played a significant part in setting the tone for American-Soviet rivalry during the Cold War, whose effects are still felt today.
