The Korean War was basically fought with the same weapons used in World War II -- rifles; machine guns; hand grenades; tanks; mortars; and artillery pieces. However; this conflict also featured the first combat between jet airplanes. And one weapon the United States dared not use was the atomic bomb.

A welcome contribution to both American history and agricultural history shelvesBy Midwest Book ReviewPlanting Hope on Worn-Out Land: History of the Tuskegee Land Utilization Project; Macon County; Alabama 1935-1959 is a thoughtful historical chronicle of a project that helped rehabilitate the barely farmable land that African-Americans were sharecropping upon at the close of the Civil War. This land would eventually become the Tuskegee National Forest. The second part of Planting Hope on Worn-Out Land tells the stories of the four hundred black families who were relocated to the community of Prairie Farms by the Resettlement Administration. Ultimately a story of success - both in bringing life back to the land and to providing work and the opportunity to tend to one's own farm to some African-American families amid devastating economic conditions - Planting Hope on Worn-Out Land is a welcome contribution to both American history and agricultural history shelves.
