The sacrifice of the "Glorious Glosters" in defense of the Imjin River line and the hilltop fights of Australian and Canadian battalions in the Kapyong Valley have achieved greater renown in those nations than any other military action since World War II. This book is the first to compare in depth what happened and why. Using official and unofficial source material ranging from personal interviews to war diaries, this study seeks to disentangle the mythology surrounding both battles and explain why events unfolded as they did. Based on thorough familiarity with all available sources, many not previously utilized, it sheds new light on fighting "the forgotten war."

The cinema was the most popular form of entertainment during the Second World War, when film became a critically important medium for influencing mass opinion. Feature films about the forces, such as "Target for Tonight", "In Which We Serve" and "The Way Ahead", shaped in the British people's perceptions of the conflict. "British War Films, 1939-1945: The Cinema and the Services" relates how, with service participation, these pictures came to be made and how they were received. It is the first book to focus on how the army, navy and air force worked with the film industry, and other government departments, to try to shape what people thought about the struggle, making the films produced an important index of British morale and values at a time of desperate national crisis. It places these efforts in the context of feature films on the forces made before and after the Second World War.
