Gibby describes ROKA's structure, mission, challenges, and successes, thereby linking the South Korean army and their US advisors to the traditional narrative of this "forgotten war." The work also demonstrates the difficulties inherent in national reconstruction, focusing on barriers in culture and society, and the effects of rapid decolonization combined with inKorean War, 1950-1953Participation, AmericanMilitary assistance, AmericanKorea (South)Korean War, 1950-1953Participation, American.Military assistance, American951.904/24951.90424Gibby Bryan R1134792MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788377703321The will to win3840652UNINA
