[KOREAN-WAR-L:11316] Re: Need information on Canada's entry to Korean War

[Jeff McLaughlin <kane_ca@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for the refresher Mr. Tunison.
Do you know if there are there any authors who have written
texts on the Korean War of the likes of Stephen Ambrose or
Paul Fussel who wrote on WWII? I'd like to read an
well-written text or two on the conflict. 

Best Wishes, 
Jeff (A Canadian :)
