The U.S. Army’s Official History of the Korean War, United States Army in the Korean War series is a standard work on the military operations of the U. S. Army and its allies during the Korean War. This 4 volumes study has great prestige in the English speaking world. But these studies have some problems. One of the problems is that this work didn't pay enough attention to the operations of the Army of the Republic of Korea. Ebb and Flow, the work of Billy C. Mossman and the last book of this series, also have the same problem. In Mossman’s work, the South Korean Army is depicted as an inexperienced and incapable organization. Of course, this kind of narrative has enough historical basis. But during the Korean War, the South Korean Army carried out some successful military operations. So it is very unrighteous to only focus on the negative aspect of the South Korean Army. There is a need for more balanced works about the Korean War.
