Looking for a good book on the Korean War. Preferably something that focuses a little more on the political situation and not too much on the minutia of different military maneuvers.

If you liked those have a look at these! Fiction - Mick Herron - Slow Horses in The Slough House series - an anti-Bond masterpiece laced with sardonic humour Fiction - Len Deighton - Funeral in Berlin - shame they chose The Ipcress File for a remake rather than this Non-fiction - Bill Fairclough - Beyond Enkription in The Burlington Files series - a raw noir sui generis novel Non-fiction - Ben Macintyre - The Spy and The Tr…aitor + A Spy Among Friends - must reads for all espionage cognoscenti
