How can a war, diminished by being called a police action, that cost millions of lives, scarred hundreds of thousands more, razed cities and villages forcing a flood of desperate refugees … how can such horror be forgotten?

Somehow, the Korean War was forgotten, receiving less media attention than World War II with its global scope and less than Vietnam with its stormy protests and inglorious conclusion. Ryan Walkowski took on a mission to assure this war--where his grandfather and great uncle fought--would be remembered. Taking overnight drives across the United States, Walkowski interviewed aging Korean War veterans who dared to recall the most terrifying times of their lives. With author Ed Gruber, Navy and Korean War veteran, Walkowski re-tells these stories of battles in extreme frigid and monsoon conditions, of fierce warfare in rugged mountains and muddy paddies, of bugle-blaring enemy attacking wave after wave. Stories of vicious hand-to-hand fighting vividly told in these heroes'' own words--blunt and profane, with sympathetic hesitations, sometimes with tears--as they remembered their Korea, a Forgotten War.
