Does anyone have any recommendations for any books about Korea in the second world war? I'd like to know more about life there during the war, and especially about the Allied troops coming in at the end.

There's a few books recently about the Battle of Chosen Reservoir. I know Hampton Sides had one a couple years ago.

Also Bruce Cummings has a fairly popular book on it called The Korean War. It's about a decade old. But he did a post on fivebooks.com recommending 5 books on the war. https://fivebooks.com/best-books/bruce-cumings-on-the-korean-war/

I think he's asking during World War 2 ,not after the war , but not sure.
