The Ears of America: Electronic Spying in the Korean War - Paperback

by John W. Perrine (Author)

The Ears of America is the personal story of a young man's journey from a small New Jersey town to the Cold War conflict of Korea. More than merely a battle of geography, Korea became a clash of two opposing ideologies: democracy and communism. This book provides a first hand look into the daily operations of the Army Security Agency and the soldiers charged with intercepting enemy transmissions in order to stay one step ahead of their foes. The book tells of the important role played by South Korean and UN forces; the critical services provided by the air force, artillery, engineers, and many other supporting units; and of the psychological warfare that was being waged by both sides. The conflict in Korea transitioned the world into a new era. The Ears of America details the bravery of those involved in this war; a war that has yet to officially end.
