À propos de ce contenu audio
In Episode 56 of Mil History Talk, Hope—still the unpaid, unparked, but indefatigable Chief of the Book Review Desk—dives into The Korean War by Max Hastings. This episode tackles why the Korean War became “forgotten,” and why that label misses the point entirely. Hastings’ narrative-driven history exposes how overconfidence, bad assumptions, and political miscalculation turned a limited war into a frozen, grinding stalemate with lasting consequences.
Hope breaks down what the book gets right, where it has limits, and why it still matters for modern military professionals and policymakers—especially anyone interested in coalition warfare, escalation, and friction. Expect sharp insight, dry humor about winter warfare (and zero bonuses), and clear guidance on how to read Korea intelligently.
Recommended follow-on reads include The Forgotten War by Clay Blair and The Korean War by Bruce Cumings for deeper operational and strategic perspectives.
