From Baird Online:
Another of those very valuable examples of intensive research that will be valued for a very long time. This is fortunate for, compared with World War II and the Vietnam War, the Korean War has attracted comparatively little attention from historians.
As well as very thoroughly describing the smaller naval combatants of the Korean War, the author puts them and the war itself, into much wider perspective. This is useful and welcome.
It is not often remembered that, in addition to the US Navy, the navies of Australia, Britain, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Thailand and, of course, South Korea participated in the war against North Korea. They provided a very wide cross section of naval ships and boats.
The author has produced a detailed and comprehensive listing of all the vessels involved including warships and supply ships.
