About the Book

Over the Beach: US Army Amphibious Operations in the Korean War, by historian and retired Army Colonel describes the little known history of the Army's amphibious operations during the Korean War. This book is part of our tradition of publishing high-quality historical studies from outside authors that have continuing relevance to the US Army today. After the massive Chinese attacks of November and December 1950, the Army conducted a number of amphibious withdrawals as it fell back southward on the Korean peninsula to more defensible positions. Throughout the war, the Army also conducted a number of non-assault amphibious operations and over-the-shore logistical operations. Since the Korean War, the Army's amphibious role has greatly decreased in importance. The Army, however, conducted extensive riverine operations in Vietnam and continues to employ them in Iraq. Additionally, over-the-shore logistics remains an important part of Army doctrine and logistical capability today. This historical study chronicles an aspect of the US Army's history that may seem remote from the challenges facing the Army in 2008.
About the Author: Donald W. Boose Jr., a retired Army colonel, teaches at the US Army War College. Much of his 30-year military career involved Northeast Asia political-military matters and included service as the Korean Politico-Military planner for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 6 years with the UN Command Component of the Military Armistice Commission in Korea, and 3 years as the Assistant Chief of Staff for Strategic Plans and Policy (J5) for US forces in Japan. He is the author of U.S. Army Forces in the Korean War, coauthor of Great Battles of Antiquity, a major contributor to the Encyclopedia of the Korean War, coeditor of Recalibrating the U.S.-Republic of Korea Alliance, a major contributor to the Encyclopedia of the Korean War, and the author of many articles on the Korean War and Northeast Asia security issues. Professor Boose has a degree in Anthropology from Cornell University, a master's degree in Asian Studies from the University of Hawaii, and is a graduate of the US Army War College.
