The Korean War has been called the “forgotten war;†not as studied as World War II or Vietnam. Choi examines the collective memory of the Korean War through five discrete memory sites in the United States and South Korea; including the PBS documentary Battle for Korea; the Korean War Memorial in Salt Lake City; and the statue of General Douglas MacArthur in Incheon; South Korea. She contends that these sites are not static; rather; they are active places where countermemories of the war clash with the official state-sanctioned remembrance. Through lively and compelling analysis of these memory sites; which include two differing accounts of the No Gun Ri massacre\--contemporaneous journalism and oral histories by survivors\--Choi shows diverse narratives of the Korean War competing for dominance in acts of remembering. Embattled Memories is an important interdisciplinary work in two fields; memory studies and public history; from an understudied perspective; that of witnesses to the Korean War.
