The best of the 3 Murphy has written on MoH awardees.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is the best book by far of the three that Murphy has written on MoH winners in the three major wars. It is expertly detailed and has all of the recipients inserted in the timeline of the course of the war. There are so many details about each recipient, it is a wonder how and where he managed to get all the facts and keep them straight. This appears to be a labor of love and the great respect shown each recipient is plainly evident. This is also an excellent history of the Korean conflict, not only the MoH winners, so it serves a double purpose. Highly recommended, most definitely.
All the M.O.H. awardees.

The author, who is the editor of the journal of the Medal of Honor Historical Society, skillfully weaves each of the Korean War Medal of Honor stories chronologically into the context of the war, providing insight into not only the individual heroism but also the development of the conflict itself. With maps, a useful introduction detailing Medal of Honor history, tabular index of recipients, bibliography, and index, this is a handy compendium of MOH awardees, and also useful for its insights into the unique nature of the Korean War. (The "score" rating is an ineradicable feature of the page. This reviewer does not "score" books.)
