5 out of 5 stars
by georgbroadhea-0Jan 31, 2020
The title, based on a question to a Marine who had been to Korea and back, pre-dates the more commonly used, "The Forgotten War".
The late author, Henry Berry, had written a previous book about WWI, followed by books about the Marines in WWII, "Semper Fi, Mac", and his book about Marines in Korea, "Hey, Mac, Where Ya Been?". The latter is a well-intentioned book, but, as one who he kindly included, I am not alone in my feeling that the author was off-course when he added subjective comments. The majority of Marines who served in Korea had volunteered to serve, having lived in the shadow of parents or older siblings who had served in World War II. Apart from his occasional injections, he stayed the course and edited from taped conversations with those who told about their service. From a casual introduction and interview, he became a friend to each person he included in his books. A good read.

Hey, Mac, Where Ya Been?
Very good overall, but author did not understand the veterans of the Korean War. The were generally too young for WWII, but lived through those patriotic times and wanted to serve in the military., (And, yes, go to war). He injects his personal opinion, inferring that the men were sent to Korea, but would rather not have been. Nothing could be further from the truth for about 98% of the men who served in the Marine Corps at that time. In one instance, he had to change his personal injection of comments about "surrendering", in the James Brady biographical sketch. That was deleted from the paper back printing, at the insistence of Brady. He did not fully understand the Korean War veteran, but he did them a service by writing about them, despite a few discrepancies. In the biographical piece about George Broadhead, "The Kid From Ebbets Field", he wrote, "that could only mean, Korea", as though it was the last thing in the world a marine would want. To the contrary, Broadhead had written to the Commandant of the Marine Corps and volunteered to go to Korea. That is exactly what he wanted. Based on the record, it was a successful tour of duty for that young marine. The general reader would not necessarily be aware of these intrusions of the authors opinion, so the book would have served its purpose. For those of us, and I was one of them, who know the flaws, they are not mortal wounds, but detract from the intent.Read full review
