by C. A. MacDonald
In June 1950, North Korean forces crossed the 38th Parallel into South Korea, and the United States intervened to prevent the spread of communism, thus engaging in a three-year war which finished the Truman administration, led Eisenhower to contemplate the tactical use of nuclear weapons and put an early strain on the effectiveness of the UN.

NATO before the Korean War (New Studies in U.S. Foreign Relations)
by Lawrence S Kaplan
Conventional wisdom has the Korean War putting the O in NATO. Prior to that time, from the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949, to the North Korean invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950, the Treaty allies were just going through the motions of establishing an organisation. Historian Lawrence Kaplan argues that this is a mistaken view, and he fills significant blanks in the record of 1949 and 1950, which NATO officials and analysts alike have largely ignored. When the Treaty...

Korea, December 1950. The temperature has plunged to 20-degrees below zero. Cold enough to crack rocket-launcher ammo wide open. But not cold enough to stop a massive Communist assault against U.S. forces. As the 8th Army retreats, the Marines dig in at Chosin Reservoir and are quickly cut off and surrounded. This is the riveting account of what happened next. The brilliant Marine attack that was to become a classic in military operations. The personal heroism, private ordeals, bitter fighting,...
