註釋
"The 'Unknown War' in Korea was very important indeed: as a crucial 'hot' episode in the early Cold War, as a dress rehearsal for Bietnam and as a savage civil war complicated by outside intervention. It left a divided country (35,000 American soldiers and over 3 million Koreans dead), as well as hollow claims of victory from both sides and a legacy of bitterness and controversy. John Halliday and Bruce Cumings have assembled hundreds of photographs to provide a grim picture of everyday life in Korea under 'the heaviest and most sustained bombing ever known'. THey have also talked to a wide range of journalists, observers and participants in many countries, lifted the lid of the 'opaque Never-never-land' of North Korea and cut through the dense propaganda on both sides. The result is a full and unpartisan account of an extraordinary conflict"--Back cover
