The current Pentagon leadership is the kind of people that buy thousands of books with public money that nobody will read (written by their friends).
- "Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card" is the only one from the list I have read.
- "This Kind of War: The Classic Korean War History, by T. R. Fehrenbach" seems interesting. South Korea still seems very grateful to the USA and commemorates the USA (and the rest of allies) that helped them during the Korean war.
- trhway 4mo ago>- "This Kind of War: The Classic Korean War History, by T. R. Fehrenbach" seems interesting. South Korea still seems very grateful to the USA and commemorates the USA (and the rest of allies) that helped them during the Korean war. For "easy reading"- viewing - on that war there are somewhat informative - in very coarse grain sense - movies that i watched recently: SK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_Jangsari https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_Jangsari China (with heavy propaganda angle of course and a big budget): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_at_Lake_Changjin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_at_Lake_Changjin
- pjc50 4mo agoThe Korean war is technically not over. I believe the most recent framework is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panmunjom_Declaration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panmunjom_Declaration , but the recently-evicted South Korean president was actively trying to restart it for his own Trumpian reasons. It's one of those things like the San Andreas fault. Just because nothing has happened for decades doesn't mean the risk has gone away.
