A Soldier’s Heroic Journey through the Korean War

War is a torment that changes how a person perceives the world. Korean War veteran Dennis J. Ottley relives his ordeal as part of the US military during the three-year war in East Asia in Remembering (Korea: 1950–1953). His is a story that will move many hearts.
 
Dubbed as “The Forgotten War,” the war that partitioned the Korean peninsula into North and South stayed with many American servicemen who fought against the annihilation of innocents and the imminent fall of the South Koreans into the hands of tyranny. Although relegated by Truman as “police action,” the war was one of the bloodiest in American history. Ottley was one of those brave souls who lent his service in the name of peace and freedom. In this memoir, he tells of his harrowing journey during the years of war, the battles he fought, and the horrors he witnessed.
 
A testament to the courage, bravery, and resilience of the American heroes, Ottley’s story imparts insights and understanding to Americans about a soldier’s life and opinion of the long-forgotten conflict. Remembering (Korea: 1950–1953) will especially appeal to war veterans and their families, as well as those who avidly study history.
