I was wondering if anyone knows of any books focusing on Allied special operations during the Korean War. I've already read Kevin Dockery's book on the SEALS which touches on the subject briefly but was hoping for more, especially as it relates to Commando-style raids and operations

The SEALs were formed AFTER the Korean war.

I know, Kevin Dockery's book dealt with the history of the SEALS including the old UDT teams.

Thanks for the suggestions guys
