Five StarsBy DEBRAAn excellent account of the Korean War from the perspective of a true hero; General Paik.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Best look at the Korean War from Korea's 1st 4 Star GeneralBy wdyrum@bora.dacom.co.krTaken in context and compared against all that has been written about the Korean War; GEN Paik provides his personal account of Korea's fight against the Communist North. GEN Paik explains the difficulty his newly freed country has fighting their brothers; winning and then having the Chinese weigh in against them. He looks at his experiences with the U.S. officers and enlisted who shed their blood along side their Korean comrades and helped to preserve a free country in the South. GEN Paik discusses the troubles his new found Army (50 years old this Oct 1998) adapting to modern equipment and tactics after being under the rule of Imperial Japan. A must read if you are truely interested in Korea and the Korean War. This book is an excellent read and a wonderful new look at the Korean War.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A believable memoir by ROK's best fighting generalBy A CustomerThe book is a believable account by ROK's finest general in the Republic's history; albeit somewhat embellished. I; myself; am a Korean but can cut through the crap; when I smell one. The memoir's contension that the ROK troops have stood and fought despite the insurmountable odds are seriously challenged by the Americans who fought with them. During the Korean Conflict; the ROK fighting units were; all too often; substandard; poorly-led by inexperienced; underaged incompetents; thus; undisciplined and cowardly. The ROK troops suffered from pathological fear of the NK tanks and the Chinese volunteers; and thus relied heavily on the American firepower to do the fighting for them. (General; your men never could "decimate" the Chinese alone!) The only exception to the South Korean rule were the 1st ROK Division commanded by the author himself; and the ROK Marine Regiment.In any event; the exploits of the General and his division is well documented. I was quite frankly amazed with his superb English. The author's well-written account is somewhat believable; but the highly-exaggerated tales of the "ROK fighting prowess;" prevents this memoir from earning five stars.
