The Heroic KPA: The Invincible Revolutionary Armed Forces" is a 1969 book published by the Korean People's Army Publishing House in English and Russian, highlighting the military history and ideology of the KPA. It emphasizes the army's role under Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, continuing today under Kim Jong Un as an "elite revolutionary army".

In the past the Korean nation, because it did not have strong national strength, was forced to leave the guard of its royal palace in the hands of a foreign army and even regard it as its miserable fate to be occupied militarily by Japanese imperialism and have its own army disbanded.

It defeated the US imperialists and achieved a great victory in the Fatherland Liberation War (June 1950 – July 1953). Afterwards, it defended with credit the security of the socialist country and the well-being of the people from the continuous imperialists’ manoeuvres of aggression and war.
