Hello everybody.

I must confess that I don’t know much about the Korean War (I’m Chilean). At school, I only studied the Second World War, but it took quite a long time to finally learn that it was the Soviet Union, its Communist Party, and the Red Army who brought about Hitler’s end.

I want to study what happened between 1950 and 1953, but most of the sources are western, meaning whatever they claim is marred by blatant lies and deceit.

So, what are good sources to start studying? What do you know about this war?

Cheers

    Blowback podcast did a season on Korea. I recommend it. It’s hard to listen to at times knowing how the empire brutalized Korea, but it explains a lot about the historical context and how things went down. You can find it unofficially hosted on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@redpylon/playlists

    And to be clear, in spite of being a “podcast”, it’s more like an audio essay series than what you might typically think of as a podcast. They aren’t just casually bullshitting about it. They’re going over it in a lot of detail from event to event, more like telling a story, citing various sources along the way.
