Tre anni di combattimenti, centinaia di migliaia di perdite tra i militari dei Paesi belligeranti e almeno un milione e mezzo tra i civili; un Paese devastato, il mondo sospinto a un passo da un conflitto nucleare; una pace mai firmata e dunque una crisi irrisolta, che ancora oggi, a tratti, fa salire la tensione internazionale al livello di guardia: ciò nonostante la guerra di Corea è per eccellenza "la guerra dimenticata" del XX secolo.
