Description: "This heavily illustrated filmography details more than 90 English-language films that chronicle or depict the Korean War and its consequences.

In addition to providing complete cast and credit listings, a plot synopsis, evaluation, review snippets, and notice of video availability, each entry places each Korean War film in its historical context, assesses the essential truthfulness and relevance of each film, evaluates each film's entertainment value, and discusses how - and why - Korean War films differ from other Hollywood war genres.

Also included are listings of documentaries on the Korean War and of South Korean films about war."--BOOK JACKET.
