IN MORTAL COMBAT: KOREA, 1950-1953

Battlefield history of the Korean War offers observations on the political aspects of the war as well. The author focuses alternately on specific figures from both sides, including one of the first women correspondents in combat, Maggie Higgins. John MacDonald narrates in a deep voice, crisply and rapidly, handling sometimes difficult place and personal names without hesitation. There are no sound effects or other enhancements. With its usual competence, Books on Tape has produced a quality unabridged audiobook. D.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 94]
