The Korean War (76 page)

Bibliography and a note on sources

The principal sources for this book have been oral interviews with participants in the Korean War, or those with pertinent diplomatic and political experience, together with the relevant files in the Public Record Office, London, and the National Archive, Washington DC. I have also consulted records and reports at the Staff College, Camberley, and personal correspondence preserved privately. The National Military Museum in Peking contains a large Korean section, and much visual material, but no important documentation is available to a foreign researcher. There are major oral history transcript collections at the US Marine Corps Museum, Washington DC, and at the US Army’s Military History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The list of secondary sources below does not include unit and formation histories, which exist for almost every fighting element on the UN side in Korea. I have drawn upon the contemporary files of major British and US newspapers, together with some locally published wartime English-language newspapers in Korea.
