"Over five hours and 121 tracks (chosen by producer Hugo Keesing out of the more than 900 war-themed songs), this set expertly weaves together a broad variety of musical and audio documents (mostly songs, but also speeches, news reports and PSAs) to offer a compelling chronicle of a conflict that - in contrast with World War II or the Vietnam War - featured little national mobilization in North America, and on which much of the musical establishment of the time remained silent".

"A superbly illustrated 160-page hardbound book comes with the CDs. Besides lyrics and essays on each cut, we get a history of the war, singer/writer Frankie Miller's candid reminiscing on his Korea experience, nine pages of photos of Marilyn Monroe's visit to the troops and four pages of North Korean posters from the conflict".
