About This Item
New York: Random House, 1963. First Edition . X. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 5" x 8 1/2. Byers, Jane - Design. 173 Pages Indexed. Illustrated with Maps and black and white photographs throughout. This book is all about The War in Korea 1950-1953. Sixteen nations rallied to fight for freedom in Korea. For three years they fought to uphold a country's right to choose its own way of life. Nothing on such a scale had ever happened before. The Korea War is the first war in history in which troops of a world organization, the United Nations, acted a "police force" to fight an aggressor nation. The original Landmark series of children's books were high quality non-fiction, hardcover books that focus on the legendary people and events in American history. They were written for children and young adults, generally ages 10-15. Children enjoy reading these books. Because the content is rich and they are expertly written, many adults enjoy reading and collecting them as well. They are very popular with home-schoolers. It's been said that if a student were to read all of these books through their years at school that they would have a better history education than 95% of all high school seniors. Contents in 13 Chapters: The U.N. Wins Its First Battle, how the War Began, The Fall of Seoul, Enter the United Nations, Enter the Americans, General Den's Last Stand, Bulldog Walker at Pusan, The Glory of MacArthur, The Chinese Trap, The Second Retreat from Seoul, The Road Back, The Truce Talks Drag On, and The Fighting Ends.
