"This reference information paper provides descriptions of more than 39 series of textual, still picture, motion picture, sound recording, catographic, and architectural records that provide information about the Korean War." -- Pref.
"This reference information paper identifies several representative series and datasets of textual, electronic, still picture, and motion picture records that document U.S., Government policies, programs, and actions during the Cold War ... For purposes of establishing the subject scope of this paper, the years of the Cold War era were loosely defined as 1945 to 1991 (from the end of the World War II through the dissolution of the Soviet Union into the Commonwealth of Independent States). The compilers have chosen to exclude coverage of the Korean War and the Vietnam War from the narrative because NARA-held documentation relating to these topics is extensive and complex, requiring separate descriptive coverage"--Introduction.
When the fake Hitler diaries were taken up by The Sunday Times, it was accompanied by all the the razzmatazz of the modern media. Yet in 1949, when Eva Braun's diary was published, there was no such circus in a world already tired of the war.
Americans think of the Korean War as death and hardship in the bitter hills of Korea. It was certainly this, and for those who fought this is what they generally saw. Yet every foot of the struggles forward, every step of the retreats, the overwhelming victories, the withdrawals and last ditch stands had their seagoing support and overtones. The spectacular ones depended wholly on amphibious power -- the capability of the twentieth century scientific Navy to overwhelm land-bound forces at the point of contact. Yet the all pervading influence of the sea was present even when no major landing or retirement or reinforcement highlighted its effect. When navies clash in gigantic battle or hurl troops ashore under irresistible concentration of ship-borne guns and planes, nations understand that sea power is working. It is not so easy to understand that this tremendous force may effect its will silently, steadily, irresistibly even though no battles occur. No clearer example exists of this truth in wars dark record than in Korea. Communist-controlled North Korea had slight power at sea except for Soviet mines. So beyond this strong underwater phase the United States Navy and allies had little opposition on the water. It is, therefore, easy to fail to recognize the decisive role navies played in this war fought without large naval battles.
