Book read: The Korean War by Max Hastings

A book I've wanted to read for many years to plug a gap in my knowledge.  With Trump at loggerheads with N Korea I thought it a good time to read up on the original conflict.

This book was from the late 1980s, and N Korea was as closed as it is now.  Hastings describes the conflict very well and the subversive involvement of China which soon became China versus America which is probably little appreciated.
