About This Item
From text, "Undeclared War" - "Without any warning or any declaration of war, on June 25, 1950, North Korean armies crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded South Korea."
"A prompt United Nations order to cease fire and withdraw was completely ignored. Two days later the U.N. asked all Member nations for help to repel the armed agression, and asked the President of the United States to appoint a Commander. On June 28 President Truman ordered American ships and planes to help the South Koreans; on June 30 he ordered American ground troops into the fighting."
Just the first page has an abundance of information! This book has lots of information and lots of black and white photos. There are a couple of color photos and an Index.
Near Fine condition. Very minimal edge wear, slight wear at the corners and spine top and bottom. Pages are clean, binding is tight.
386 pages including Index.
