In the Devil's Shadow: UN Special Operations During the Korean War (Naval Institute Special Warfare Series)

Rating:
Summary: I met the author Col (ret) Michael Haas
Review: Had an opportunity to listen to a briefing from Col Haas just yesterday. All I can say is he was absolutely fascinating. I have not had the pleasure of reading In the Devil's Shadow, but I am reading another book by Col Haas titled, Apollo's Warriors, a history of Air Force Special Operations during the Cold War. Col Haas is the real deal and loves writing about his special operations brothers. If the Devil's Shadow is a reflection of the author or his other works, then I would recommend it fully.

Summary: Informative and Well Written Account of Little Known Aspect
Review: of the Korean War. As Mr. Haas notes in his review of his book, the book deals with the operations of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and CIA. Mr. Haas has done his research and, just as importantly, provided us with a well written book on a subject that has only recently been written about extensively. Along with Dark Moon and White Tigers, this book is a must for Korean War and Korean history fans as wells as those interested in special ops. Highly recommended.

Summary: Information long hidden
Review: This work is a must for those interested in Military History, especially the history of American Special Operations or in the Korean War. Col. Haas has written an easy to read, exceedinly well researched, well documented book which details the success and failure of special and partisan operations during the Korean War including those of the Central Intelligence Agency. The list of CIA documents alone, which Col. Haas obtained against all odds, makes this book worth obtaining. Without a doubt, it is the best book on Korean War special operations ever published.
