With the millennium comes the 50^th Commemoration of the Korean War, long referred to by its veterans as "The Forgotten War". In this, the fourth book in a series for high school students, 21 veterans tell their personal stories so that this important part of their lives might be remembered and honored by all Americans.

Former teacher and author, Sandy Strait, compiled dozens of questions high school students asked about the war. These questions were then answered by Korean War veterans from all branches of service who functioned in widely varying occupations, such as combat infantryman, flight nurse, electronic technician, machine gunner, tank driver, intelligence officer, and MASH operating room nurse. These veterans tell what the war was really like for them, from start to finish, and how their experiences affected the rest of their lives.

The series includes the following seven books:

What Was It Like In Vietnam? (Co-authored by Linda Calvin)

What Happened to American Prisoners of War in Korea? 

What Was It Like In Desert Storm? 

What Was It Like In Korea?

What Was It Like In World War II? The Pacific, European and Home Fronts
