Abstract

Sandwiched between World War II and the Vietnam War was America’s “Forgotten War”: the Korean War (1950–53). The war, however, should be anything but forgotten as it resulted in millions of Korean casualties and changed the course of U.S. foreign policy and intervention. Military photographer David Douglas Duncan, who took photos during World War II and Vietnam, also captured the wartime experience of soldiers during the Korean War to contextualize it for readers in the United States.
