The Korean War Trivia Book: Interesting Stories and Random Facts From The Korean War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781648450143)

It was on your screen when you watched the 2018 Olympics, and it's in the background every time Donald Trump sends out a tweet about Kim Jong-un. It's the Korean War.

You may not have heard as much about the Korean War as you have about the American Civil War, World War Two, or the Vietnam War. It's not the topic of dozens of movies every year, and many Americans never learned about it, even once, in school. The Korean War was part of the Cold War - a more familiar subject - but while Sputnik, the Berlin Wall, and MAD have faded from our collective memory of what the Cold War was, the Korean War remains the one part of the Cold War that's still active.

The Korean War has everything: rebel uprisings, a totalitarian regime, mad dictators, and mysterious, lying media. It might sound like it's right out of a dystopian sci-fi novel, but it really happened, and is still happening today.

With this book in hand, you'll finally learn the ins and outs of the Korean War. You'll learn the key players and the big events. Who was Kim Il-sung, and what is the demilitarized zone? But you'll also learn some facts that get left out of the history books. So open up this book and get ready to find out...
