A worthwhile consideration for reading in the coming year.""—Steven L. Shields, Korea Times ""Devine sheds new light on memorialization's unintended, often polarizing consequences.""—J. Daley, Choice ""Devine's work is a valuable contribution to a growing subfield and is highly recommended to general readers and specialist alike.""—Brendan Wright, Pacific Historical Review ""The Korean War Remembered: Contested Memories of an Unended Conflict is an impressively well written, organized and presented ground-breaking study that be of immense value to readers with an interest in America's involvement in the Korean War.""—Midwest Book Review “Highly engaging. Perhaps most impressive about The Korean War Remembered is the extent of the coverage, not just over time but also geographically, with insightful sections on the People’s Republic of China and the two Koreas. Michael Devine shows an equally impressive grasp of how, say, Hollywood portrayed the war in the 1950s versus how various states, as well as the National Mall, have memorialized the conflict in recent decades.”—Steven Casey, author of Selling the Korean War: Propaganda, Politics, and Public Opinion, 1950–1953 “The strength of this study is the author’s effort to take a broad chronological overview that underscores change over time. While focused on the American memory of the Korean War, Michael Devine also places it in an international context.”—G. Kurt Piehler, author of A Religious History of the American GI in World War II
