"Most Canadians may have forgotten the Korean War, but many scholars have not. These very good essays look at Canada’s involvement in the conflict and also at the role of China, the two Koreas, the United States, and the Commonwealth. The coverage includes prisoners of war, veterans, medicine, and commemorations, and this is a very useful book for everyone interested in a conflict that, almost seventy-five years after it began, remains unresolved."

J.L. Granatstein, author of Canada’s Army: Waging War and Keeping the Peace

"These essays, masterfully edited by Andrew Burtch and Tim Cook, should forever make sure that the Korean War is Canada’s forgotten war no longer. Although it may not have been a decisive war, the contributors show here how important it was (and is) to understanding our world."

Michael S. Neiberg, author of When France Fell: The Vichy Crisis and the Fate of the Anglo-American Alliance

"Korean War literature from a Canadian perspective has been sparse, until now. Every reader of Canada and the Korean War will learn about an aspect of the Korean War that they knew – and perhaps have thought – little about."

Stephen Harris, chief historian, Directorate of History and Heritage, National Defence Headquarters

"Andrew Burtch and Tim Cook have provided readers with one-stop shopping for anyone interested in Canada’s role in the Korean War. They are to be congratulated."
