Forty years after a war which is seen by some as a lapse of taste or good judgement, With the Carriers in Korea now presents the first true account of the part played by the Royal and Commonwealth navies in Korea. A vital reference for the survivors and families of those involved and fascinating reading for historians. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 485 pages including index.
