The Sea War in Korea

Summary: A Great review of the US Naval Operations in Korea
Review: This is a long and great disection of all the US naval operations during the Korean War. It covers everything from the intial view of the Korean Pennuisla after WW2, the underrated mission of the anti-mine units, the Close air support during the Chosin Campagin, the Inchon Landings, and the Naval Jets Aces. This is a perfect companion to any other things on the Korean War on your bookshelf. This books can show the bigger picture as seen by the Navy during the Korean War. This book is a little dated since it was written just 2yrs after the war ened. It helps to fill in that void that all others cover in just passing. The authors also try to make a point in this book that the Navy and Marine Corps are a great team that can take on the world. This point isn't very subtle but should be understood that the at the time the Navy was in a losing battle with the USAF and the US Army for the all important dollar. If this doesn't detract from your enjoyment, then this is a great buy.
