Title: Poorly Researched
Product review: Toland has written some outstanding books to include, THE RISING SUN and BUT NOT IN SHAME. However, IN MORTAL COMBAT is sloppy. He routinely makes mistakes when describing Anerican Army combat units and their role in the war. Moreover, he has lionized ceratin commanders, like Gen Walker, who were at best mediocre commanders. The book's only strength is that he made an attempt to tell the story of the North Koreans, too, and for that Toland deserves some credit. Still, for a better history of the war, its hard to beat Roy Appleman's SOUTH TO THE NAKTONG, NORTH TO THE YALU.
