Default The Forgotten War, by Clay Blair

I'd read this about 1990, and pulled it out again while playing a Korean War-game earlier this summer. It's a monster of a single volume, nearly 1000 pages of text, and a lot more of endnotes and references. Unlike some works on the Korean War, there are chapters after the fighting dies down in the summer of 1951, through to the 1953 armistice.

A major focus of this work is on US Army's leadership, from battalion to theater level. How the Eighth Army and the Pentagon brought in officers to fill slots and improve leadership is perhaps something T2k fans could consider. I was somewhat disappointed to find that my current age is now "too old" to command a regiment.
