This book provides an excellent overview of the Korean War, with many photographs. The chapter on the aftermath and implications of the war, while dated, remains a high point of the book.

1667 Korea: The Limited War, by David Rees (read 29 Oct 1981) This is a 1963 book by a British free-lance writer. I found the book fascinating and am very glad I read it. It recounts for me so much that was of Supreme Interest to me in those years of maximum awareness to the most important things happening, 1950-1951, but also covers periods when I was in isolation relatively speaking, e.g., boot camp from 21 Aug 1951, to early Nov 1951, and at sea from Jan 1953 to July 1953.

This book is a synthesis of other people's research, written for a more or less popular audience instead of an academic audience. It is a reasonably quick and easy read, but doesn't include any original research. Rees wants to show that Wales played a role in Henry VII's usurpation of the English throne - in other words, he's trying to demonstrate that Wales is important too.
