Nathan Hale continues to delight me with his educational and humorous looks at history. This time a female journalist covers the opening weeks of the Korean War as unprepared and ill-equipped American forces are routed by North Koreans driving Russian T-34 tanks.
It's fine military history, with the focus almost entirely on American officers and reporters. It does veer a bit too much toward the whole thing being an adventurous lark in a foreign land. I wish more attention could have been paid to the effect all these maneuvers and battles were having on South Korean soldiers and civilians. Still very good, if not the most well-rounded. ( )

lots of information, but still very readable. This series of graphic nonfiction remains popular with the kids at the library, for good reason. ( )
