Korea: the Commonwealth at war

"Major Carew has traced and interviewed many hundreds of servicemen from all over the Commonwealth who fought in the Korean War. He tells the story of the "Commonwealth at war" through their eyes, their reports, diaries and letters. Because it was a war fought not for conquest, or a nation's survival, but for a principle, it was a very personal war. It is this which emerges clearly from the narrative, startling and sometimes appalling in its immediacy, often moving in its humanity"--Dust jacket.
