Can someone recommend a book about the Korean War? Open to non-fiction and fiction alike.

David Halberstam's The Coldest Winter was a good look at the war, I thought.

Looks good, I'll give it a shot. Thanks! :)

I'm interested in fantasy (or science fiction) dealing with alternative history. Something along the lines of "what if the Roman empire survived for longer than it did" or "some major event unfolded differently, like the Muslims overran Constantinople and France in the 700s". I've read The Years of Rice and Salt which was pretty ok, but I didn't like the century hopping that much. I'm more interested in some kind of adventure written in a style similar to Robert E. Howard or George R.R. Martin set into a medieval world. Or future/science fiction, as long as alternative history plays an interesting role.

Check out The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick.
It's set in an alternate universe where the axis won WW2 and divided the US up between Germany and Japan.
