"Bill O'Neill is clearly the king of trivia books. He wrote many of
them and they are fascinating and fun to read. He writes in an easy
to read manner. The books contain a wealth of information we should
know. This book is packed with information. It tells us about: (1)
the prelude to the Korean War, which includes information about
proxy wars, (2) North Korea and the communists, (3) South Korea and
the battles fought there, (4) the UN and USA in Korea, (5) the
involvement of China and the Soviet Union, and (6) the legacy of
the Korean War. Each of the six information-filled chapters is
followed by questions and answers so that we can test ourselves. In
short, this is a book that we will be happy to have and read." by

"A must read. Because President Trump has made many inflammatory
and confusing comments about North Korea and her leader Kim
Jung-un, this book is a great introduction into the Korea's as they
exist today. The book is mainly a synopsis of events. Most
Americans have little interest in the the history of these two
countries and don't realize that the Korean War is still going. The
events that began in 1950 have shaped the different philosophies of
both North and South Korea. While the book is not an in depth study
of Kim Jung-un, it helps to form a frame of reference as to why he
does things that upset the United States and why negotiating with
him is so difficult." by Pam

"I loved this enlighting book. I spent 13 months in Korea in 1956
on the DMZ and learned more about the Korean War than I never knew
before. I read it in a few hours. It was expensive for me at $3.99
as my wife and I live on $1,000 a month but it was worth it." by

"As with other trivia books Mr. O'Neill has written, this one is
very informative and descriptive. The book starts with some Korean
history and continues working forwards. Great information, well
presented. Recommended." by D. Dalal

"A great resource for trivia fans or those interested in The Korean
War. Can be read from cover to cover as a normal book, or in small
bits to pass the time in a waiting room or other setting." by
