Samenvatting	This illustrated portfolio is produced upon the 50th anniversary of cessation of hostilities and as a remembrance of the ships of Task Group 96.8. This brief account contains information and numerous photographs of the vessels from the multi-national force involved in the Korean theatre. Dubbed 'The Forgotten War', because of the lack of media attention at the time, this was also the first United Nations War and that so many nations rallied to the cause was proof of the worth of that newly-formed organisation. Britain and the older nations of the Commonwealth rapidly legislated for their reserves to be mobilised, and so largely from Europe and the West came those who would assist the USA to liberate the Republic of South Korea from the aggression of its northern neighbor. This profusely illustrated book will be of great significance to those interested in modern history and maritime warfare. There is a great deal of historical detail, which is complemented by many photographs of the fighting ships and auxiliary vessels involved in the conflict.
