try:
Carmelite Nuns. Seoul.
Carmel and the Korean death march.
by the Korean Carmelites.
St. Teresa's Press, Carmelite Monastery, 1984.

Crosbie, Philip.
March till they die.
Newman Press, 1956.

Chinnery, Philip D.
Korean atrocity: forgotten war crimes 1950-1953.
Naval Institute Press, 2000.

Biderman, Albert D.

Macmillan, 1963.

Lech, Raymond.
Broken soldiers.

There are so many books about Korean War POWs.

I wondered if the North Korean ever published their own Korean War 
historical stuff. They should have a veterans organization by now.

I thought the Death March was in WWII. Something new everyday.
Kenworthy, Aubrey Saint.
The Tiger of Malaya; the story of General Tomoyuki Yamashita and "Death 
March" General Masaharu Homma.
Exposition Press, 1953.
