Reviews

"The photographs show images I've not seen elsewhere, and I especially appreciated the color plates showing Ethiopian military uniforms. This book serves two functions: it teaches the reader about the Korean War, but more importantly it tells the story of how a proud people and a proud nation rose to meet the call to protect democracy and joined the world in squelching the aggression of the North Koreans."-- "IPMS/USA"

"...a useful work for anyone interested in the Korean War or the role of smaller nations in collective defense. "-- "The NYMAS Review"

"...an excellent addition to the library of The Forgotten War."-- "Model Kits Review"

"If you never heard of this force, you'll be impressed with the detail, which seems taken mostly from official reports, but accentuated with interviews by the participants."-- "Historical Miniatures Gaming Society"
