David Bercuson evokes the tastes and smells, the frustrations, the unfamiliar terrain, the international complexities, and the heroism that made the Korean War an unforgettable experience for those who fought there.Caught by surprise with only a phantom army, the Canadian government in the summer of 1950 was forced by its major allies to promise a ground combat contribution to the UN effort to push back the Communist invasion of South Korea from the north. The Canadian Army Special Force, as the Korean contingent was first called, was hurriedly raised, trained, and sent to Korea, ill-prepared for a mountain war against a determined, well-armed enemy. Canadian soldiers fought bravely, often against impossible odds, to carry out their mission, but they were hindered by several factors - cautious UN Command strategy, poor British and Canadian defence doctrine, uneven leadership, and inadequate equipment and training. They did their duty, and more, in stopping Communist aggression in its tracks, but the Canadian army chose not to remember the lessons of Korea, even though that conflict, as a limited war, set the pattern for virtually all those that followed.Blood on the Hills is the first full, non-official history of the Canadian army's operations in the Korean War. The book covers the period from the start of that war to the cease-fire in July 1953 and describes and analyses the mobilization of the Canadian contingent, its training, manning, and equipment, and its efforts in combat. David Bercuson focuses on the many consequences of the army's unreadiness for combat in Korea and on the army's lack of success in learning lessons from its ex 606 $aKorean War, 1950-1953$zCanada 606 $aHISTORY / Canada / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aKorean War, 1950-1953 615 7$aHISTORY / Canada / General. 676 $a951.904/242 700 $aBercuson$b David J.$0802610 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456288703321 996 $aBlood on the hills$92462938 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04037nam 2200877Ia 450 001 9910961800503321 005 20251117065209.0 010 $a9786613096203 010 $a9781283096201 010 $a128309620X 010 $a9780300168563 010 $a030016856X 024 7 $a10.12987/9780300168563 035 $a(CKB)2670000000079634 035 $a(EBL)3420653 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000473013 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11299842 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000473013 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10436386 035 $a(PQKB)10116446 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3420653 035 $a(DE-B1597)485682 035 $a(OCoLC)1024041845 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780300168563 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3420653 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10451024 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL309620 035 $a(OCoLC)923595569 035 $a(Perlego)1089715 035 $z(OCoLC)1024041845 035 $z(OCoLC)712777711 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000079634 100 $a20100528d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSedition $eeveryday resistance in the Soviet Union under Khrushchev and Brezhnev /$fedited by Vladimir A.
