Darkmoon: Eighth Army Special Operations in the Korean War (Naval Institute Special Warfare Series)

A chronicle of the US Eighth Army G-3 Miscellaneous Group's activities during the Korean War: intelligence gathering, raids, sabotage, POW rescues, and guerrilla forays. Evanhoe, a member of the group, combines a predisposition for exciting detail along with historical research portraying the US, British, and Korean forces involved as adventurous characters with unorthodox procedures and tactics which were both successful and tragic failures. The specific operations on which he focuses include: Operation Virginia I and II, Task Force Kirkland, and Operation Spitfire. Includes photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
