"The Korean War... It all started, for the oldest branch of the U.S. Army, when the 52d Field Artillery Battalion arrived in Korea from Japan via Japanese-crewed LSTs, unloaded six truck-drawn 105mm howitzers and headed north to join Task Force Smith on 5 July 1950... The Guns of Korea: The U.S. Army Field Artillery Battalions in the Korean War covers each light (105mm), medium (155mm) and heavy (240mm and 8-inch) field artillery battalion (Regular Army, Organized Reserve, and National Guard) that served in the Korean War. Each battalion's chapter contains the lineage, Korean War timeline, campaign participation and unit citations, casualties, biography, and Distinguished Service Cross citations."-- Back cover.
