<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The Korean War Trivia Book is an entertaining, instructive and interesting Trivia & Facts book about the Korean War. With this book in hand, you'll finally learn the ins and outs of the Korean War. You'll learn the key players and the big events.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It was on your screen when you watched the 2018 Olympics, and it's in the background every time Donald Trump sends out a tweet about Kim Jong-un. It's the Korean War.<br /> <br /> You may not have heard as much about the Korean War as you have about the American Civil War, World War Two, or the Vietnam War. It's not the topic of dozens of movies every year, and many Americans never learned about it, even once, in school. The Korean War was part of the Cold War - a more familiar subject - but while Sputnik, the Berlin Wall, and MAD have faded from our collective memory of what the Cold War was, the Korean War remains the one part of the Cold War that's still active.<br /> <br /> The Korean War has everything: rebel uprisings, a totalitarian regime, mad dictators, and mysterious, lying media. It might sound like it's right out of a dystopian sci-fi novel, but it really happened, and is still happening today.<br /> <br /> With this book in hand, you'll finally learn the ins and outs of the Korean War. You'll learn the key players and the big events. Who was Kim Il-sung, and what is the demilitarized zone? But you'll also learn some facts that get left out of the history books. So open up this book and get ready to find out...<br /> <br /> Why Korea was a prime target for a Cold War conflict.<br /> <br /> How a dictator comes to power.<br /> <br /> What life was like for normal Korean citizens during the war.<br /> <br /> How you can visit North Korea today - and why you might, or might not, want to, <br /> <br /> And much, much more!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Bill O'Neill is clearly the king of trivia books. He wrote many of them and they are fascinating and fun to read. He writes in an easy to read manner. The books contain a wealth of information we should know. This book is packed with information. It tells us about: (1) the prelude to the Korean War, which includes information about proxy wars, (2) North Korea and the communists, (3) South Korea and the battles fought there, (4) the UN and USA in Korea, (5) the involvement of China and the Soviet Union, and (6) the legacy of the Korean War. Each of the six information-filled chapters is followed by questions and answers so that we can test ourselves. In short, this is a book that we will be happy to have and read." by Israel D.<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> "A must read. Because President Trump has made many inflammatory and confusing comments about North Korea and her leader Kim Jung-un, this book is a great introduction into the Korea's as they exist today. The book is mainly a synopsis of events. Most Americans have little interest in the the history of these two countries and don't realize that the Korean War is still going. The events that began in 1950 have shaped the different philosophies of both North and South Korea. While the book is not an in depth study of Kim Jung-un, it helps to form a frame of reference as to why he does things that upset the United States and why negotiating with him is so difficult." by Pam<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> "I loved this enlighting book. I spent 13 months in Korea in 1956 on the DMZ and learned more about the Korean War than I never knew before. I read it in a few hours. It was expensive for me at $3.99 as my wife and I live on $1,000 a month but it was worth it." by Joseph Skinkis<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> "As with other trivia books Mr. O'Neill has written, this one is very informative and descriptive. The book starts with some Korean history and continues working forwards. Great information, well presented. Recommended." by D. Dalal<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> "A great resource for trivia fans or those interested in The Korean War. Can be read from cover to cover as a normal book, or in small bits to pass the time in a waiting room or other setting." by Stephanie Lynn</p><br>
