Drawing on veteran interviews, letters, and archives, Deadlock in Korea chronicles Canada’s contribution to the Korean War—from the brutal fighting at Kap’yong to the grinding stalemate that defined the conflict’s later years. Ted Barris blends battlefield narratives with home‑front context, mapping how Canadian soldiers, medics, and airmen faced harsh terrain, shifting politics, and a war without a clear victory. Illustrated with photographs and maps, this is a vivid account of courage, cost, and the complexities of a “forgotten” war.
