The book appears to be well researched and well written account of the combat primarily in the first year of the Korean War, mostly about the action on the ground. What detracts from the book are the undocumented suppositions the author makes about General MacArthur, his staff and certain units that fought there which kept it from being a five star book.

New updates on a forgotten war
Clay Blair's The Forgotten War is an useful addition to the literature on the Korean War. It combines a fine writing style with extensive research and documentation into the official histories and secondary sources on the war. It also provides a good political overview of the war and its impact on modern military history. The author uses extensive personal observations from the soldiers involved to bring alive the actual battle narratives.
The official US Army Center of Military History's South to the Naktong, North to the Yalu is still the best narrative of the war but Blair's Forgotten War compliments the recent book by David Halberstam The Coldest War in explaining the war which tends to be overlooked by historians since it came after WW2 and before Viet Nam. Unfortunately, the veterans can't forget the war.
