A Great Resource - perhaps a bit dated - Used by Military Linguists

I purchased this pocket dictionary as a reference for Korean battlefield terms in my research as a military history buff. Most Korean dictionaries don't have terms or the proper phrases for such things as "maintain contact with the enemy", "POW Camp", or "Self Propelled Artillery". I've also heard this book was issued to U.S. Department of Defense Korean Linguists at the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey, California. The author is U.S. Army Captain Young C. Kim, who also authored 8 other books on Korea and Korean War history. The Forward is by General Bruce C. Clarke, who commanded the U.S. Army I Corps in the Korean War. He highly recommends this book as a means to joint understanding of terms between U.S. and Republic of Korea (ROK) forces. The book is divided into two sections. The first section is Korean-English in Hangul (Korean alphabet) alphabetical order. The second half of the book is in Engligh-Korean format. The edge is tabbed (like some other dictionaries) with darkened edges to make finding the right letter faster. It is pocket sized (approximately 4" x 6"), and has a green plastic cover with a clear plastic protective cover.
