Red Wings Over the Yalu: China, the Soviet Union, and the Air War in Korea (review)

★ 291 is only partially answered in the books given as references. Overall, the discs are an excellent source for anyone studying the war from a military point of view. Two books written after the war might have been included, to round out the sources, The River and Gauntlet, by S. L. A. Marshall, and MacArthur’s War—Korea and the Undoing of An American Hero, by Stanley Weintraub. However, I would suggest that any scholar of the Korean War would also need to consult The Forgotten War, by Clay Blair; Korea, the First War We Lost, by Bevin Alexander; and Refighting the Last War—Command and Crisis in Korea 1950–1953, by D. Clayton James.
