Acknowledgements

Thanks are due to a host of Korean veterans in Britain, the United States, Korea and China who not only contributed written or taped accounts of their experiences, but in many cases met and entertained me in the course of my researches. To all of them, I should like to express my gratitude, and my hope that they do not feel too exasperated or disappointed by the narrative that I have built around their stories and comments. The list below includes only field ranks and above, and omits decorations, which would otherwise overwhelmthese pages.
