Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Copied from other worksBy MACPI purchased this book once; and immediately returned it; because what jumped out at me were entire chunks of Clay Blair's "The Forgotten War" which had been plagiarized verbatim. The author isn't a professional writer or historian so I'd imagine he cribbed the rest as well; from the looks of it.The author; Daily; was once at the epicenter of the No Gun Ri controversy and exposed as a fraud; regarding that story; you can Google the name.
